Patient's question:
Over a month ago, we had sex without wearing a condom, and I immediately took emergency contraception. Now, my period is delayed by over a month. How can I regulate my menstrual cycle by taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Women often experience recurring amenorrhea after taking birth control pills due to endocrine changes that lead to improper endometrial thickening. You can wait a few more days to see if menstruation resumes. If it still doesn't, it is recommended to visit a hospital for an MRI to clearly check the condition of the uterus and ovaries. It is advised that women enhance their awareness of breastfeeding during daily life, prepare well for breastfeeding, and minimize the use of birth control pills.
