Does taking birth control pills cause menstruation to be delayed?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I want to consult if taking birth control pills can delay menstruation. My husband and I just got married and don't want children yet, so we chose to take birth control pills for contraception. However, after taking the pills, my menstruation has been very irregular, always delayed. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, when using contraceptive medication, it may lead to temporary menstrual irregularities. If menstruation is delayed and does not arrive on schedule, it is recommended to seek medical guidance for a thorough examination to confirm the specific situation. In the future, medication may be needed to repair and regulate the body. It is important to rest well, conduct regular check-ups, develop good habits, and pay attention to diet.
