Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife has been taking emergency contraception pills and hasn't had her period. What's going on with emergency contraception pills causing a missed period?Doctor's answer:
If menstruation persists and cannot be regulated through oral medication, it is better to go to the hospital for a check-up and treat the corresponding condition with six gonadal hormone tests. Emergency contraception refers to the use of medication after unprotected sex or a certain period after successful breastfeeding to prevent early pregnancy. Breastfeeding is one of the most common methods. Oral emergency contraceptives can cause many adverse reactions, which may lead to irregular menstruation, delayed menstruation, or withdrawal bleeding.
