Patient's question:
After sex, I took the contraceptive pill half an hour later. Two weeks ago, I did a urine test and ultrasound at the hospital, and the results were negative. However, my period hasn't come this month. Lately, I've been having stomach pain. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After taking the emergency contraceptive pill, if withdrawal bleeding occurs again 3~7 days later, it can be excluded that pregnancy has occurred if there has been no sexual activity since the last menstrual period. Emergency contraceptive pills can easily disrupt the menstrual cycle. Currently, if there are no discomforts, you can wait and see if your period does not come within half a month, and you can take progesterone to induce menstruation. It is recommended that if you do not plan to get pregnant, other contraceptive measures should be used, as emergency contraceptive pills should not be taken casually, as they can easily disrupt the menstrual cycle. They are suitable as a backup measure after successful use of other contraceptive methods.
