Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods. This month, I took birth control pills starting on the 15th, and my period ended on the 26th. Today, it broke again. Is this the period for next month? What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Taking birth control pills on the 15th is likely withdrawal bleeding caused by taking emergency contraception. Today's skin peeling might indicate the start of your period. It is recommended that you avoid taking emergency contraception in the future to prevent further exacerbating menstrual irregularities. It is best to take it no less than 3 times within a year. For gynecological patients, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to prioritize self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
