Patient's question:
I have eaten many times of birth control in the last month, and I ate birth control again a week ago. I want to ask if a thorough examination at the hospital will detect that I have taken birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills can lead to endocrine disorders. The six hormone tests can only detect endocrine disorders but not identify them as caused by emergency contraception pills. Contraceptives are estrogen drugs, and after consumption, they can alter the body's hormone levels, disrupting the endocrine system and changing the menstrual cycle. Of course, blood tests after taking the medication should be able to detect it, but once the drug is absorbed, it becomes difficult to detect! It is recommended not to take emergency contraception pills frequently, as severe cases can lead to amenorrhea and interfere with fertility.
