Patient's question:
Normally, my menstrual cycle is irregular. Last month, I had my period around the 30th, but haven't had it since. On the 15th of this month, I had sex with my boyfriend, but it was very brief—just a few touches at the entrance, and he ejaculated outside, which I then wiped with tissues. Two hours later, I took emergency contraception. Four days later, I used a pregnancy test and it showed one line, but my period still hasn't come. I've been given three shots of progesterone, and now I'm experiencing cramping in my lower abdomen, occasional lower back pain, and a discharge of yellowish-brown fluid. What could be happening?Doctor's answer:
Generally, taking progesterone can make your period come back in about a week. It is recommended that you first learn to take care of yourself and take effective contraceptive measures during sexual activity to prevent accidental pregnancy and avoid harm to your body. For gynecological patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying more attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
