Patient's question:
You and I are 25 this year. A while ago, I took birth control pills and my period came 10 days earlier. What's the reason?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills contain a large amount of hormones, which can trigger a secondary abnormal side effect of endocrine hormones in the body. Withdrawal bleeding is one of the side effects. The amount of bleeding is similar to a menstrual period. It can be considered a drug-induced abortion, which is a normal side effect of the medication and can be regarded as a normal menstrual period. After taking emergency contraception pills, it is best to take them less frequently or use condoms for contraception. It is not necessary to worry excessively, as it will usually resolve on its own. Emergency contraception pills can also cause irregular menstrual cycles. Three suggestions are to carefully observe for a few days and pay attention to a regular lifestyle. Avoid overeating and maintain a balanced diet. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods. Do not eat anything for two hours after taking the medication.
