Patient's question:
I had my period on April 7th and it ended on April 14th. However, I had sex on April 15th without any contraception. On April 16th, I took the birth control pill, but on April 20th, my period came again. I have been taking the medication these days, but it hasn't stopped yet as of the 30th. Could you please advise whether patients like me should continue taking medication or if they should go to the hospital for a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is due to the side effects of taking birth control pills. You don't need to take any medication or go to the hospital. In fact, you don't really need to take birth control pills at all. On the 15th, when you had sex, you were in the safe period, so it's very safe and unlikely to get pregnant. In the future, you should still be careful and try your best not to take medication. Practice safer sex, and you can learn more about this topic. There's no need to worry, everything will be fine, and it will gradually recover.
