Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult. I took birth control pills on the 29th of last month, and my period came 10 days earlier. Usually, my period is very regular. I'm worried it's because of the birth control pills that have caused some problems in my body. I'm quite anxious now. Could you please help me understand this?Doctor's answer:
The skin peeling condition described by the patient is more likely not related to menstruation but rather a withdrawal bleeding caused by taking emergency contraception pills, which is a common side effect of this medication. Additionally, this medication can easily lead to endocrine disorders, resulting in menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that the patient pay close attention and avoid using this medication in the future. If used frequently and for a long period, it may lead to severe consequences such as infertility or ectopic pregnancy.
