Patient's question:
After cohabitation, I have been taking birth control pills for three days, but I haven't experienced withdrawal bleeding yet. I would like to ask how long it takes for withdrawal bleeding to occur after taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Oral contraceptives are compound preparations composed of a combination of estrogen and progestogen. In addition to a large amount of estrogen and progestogen, when taking emergency contraceptive pills, there may be withdrawal bleeding or interference with your menstrual cycle. However, everyone's physique reacts differently to the drug. If there is no withdrawal bleeding, it does not mean that the contraception is not effective. Not everyone reacts the same way to the drug; not everyone will definitely have withdrawal bleeding. It is recommended to relax and take a proper rest afterward, and take fewer emergency contraceptives. If you are still not at ease or feel abnormal, you can have sexual intercourse 10 days later and have a blood test at the hospital. According to the condition, emergency measures should be taken to suspend sexual activity.
