After taking emergency contraception, menstrual disorders

Patient's question:

On December 6th, my period arrived, and it ended on the 11th. I took birth control pills on the 12th, and then my period came again on the 18th? What's going on? The kind of help I'm looking for: I want to know what's happening.

Doctor's answer:

Assumption of the condition: Hello, this is withdrawal bleeding caused by birth control pills, and it usually returns to normal after three months.
Advice: It is important to note that emergency contraception pills are hormone-based medications. You should only take 2-3 doses within a year. Taking them too frequently can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to irregular menopause, menstrual disorders, and even unsuccessful sexual intercourse. This is relatively mild, but for those with a weaker constitution, it may potentially cause infertility.
