Patient's question:
I am a woman, 32 years old. I would like to ask the doctor, a few weeks ago when I had sex with my husband, I didn't take any measures. After that, I took emergency contraception pills, and now my period hasn't come yet. How long does it usually take for your period to come after taking birth control pills? I hope the doctor can help me clarify this.Doctor's answer:
It's not necessarily the case, because birth control pills may affect menstrual irregularities, leading to early or delayed periods or irregular cycles. Therefore, the exact time of menstruation cannot be determined. If menstruation does not occur for a long time, it is also important to undergo a thorough examination to rule out pregnancy or menstrual disorders. If these conditions are present, timely treatment should be sought, as prolonged neglect can also affect the body.
