What should I do if my menstrual cycle is over forty days?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation, cycle of over forty days, sometimes fifty days. Last time, my period started on the 3rd and ended on the 7th. On the 8th, I had a one-time sexual encounter and took levonorgestrel. Today, there was a little blood discharge from the lower body. I want to ask about the reason?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your current situation, it is inferred that your menstrual cycle is quite long, indicating menstrual irregularities. You had sexual intercourse on the 8th and took emergency contraception. In this case, it is unlikely to conceive. The vaginal skin breakdown today could be a side effect of the emergency contraception leading to withdrawal bleeding. Gynecological diseases are conditions that are prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
