What should I do if my period is irregular after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

After taking emergency contraception pills, my menstrual cycle is irregular. After taking progesterone capsules, I had very little menstruation, and then it seems to have stopped these days. But I noticed some brown, viscous discharge. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

How much is this brown, viscous substance? If it's not much, it might be a symptom caused by the shedding of the endometrium. Based on your situation, this depends on how much the discharge is. It's also possible that it's a small amount of discharge caused by endocrine disorders due to medication. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely threatens women's health. Patients need to pay attention in daily life to maintain external genital hygiene and avoid sexual activity.
