Patient's question:
Hello, may I ask if having two menstrual periods in a month is related to taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Consider it is withdrawal bleeding caused by taking emergency contraception. Taking emergency contraception can cause withdrawal bleeding to occur again in about a week. Rest and avoid strenuous exercise. Pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and cold foods. Withdrawal bleeding can be considered as one menstrual period. When the next menstrual period arrives, this withdrawal bleeding does not need to be addressed. Take proper contraceptive measures for future sexual activity to prevent accidental pregnancy. Pay attention not to take emergency contraception in the future, as it can severely disrupt menstruation and health. Also, maintain good personal hygiene, wash frequently, and change clothes regularly.
