Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 26 years old this year and got married recently. My husband and I don't want children yet, and I have been taking birth control pills for this period. However, it has caused my menstruation to be irregular. I want to ask what should I do if I have had two periods while taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking oral contraceptives can cause irregular endometrial shedding. This is normal, as long as the bleeding is not excessive, there is no need to worry. You can continue taking oral contraceptives and the symptoms will usually gradually improve from the second month.It is important to note when taking oral contraceptives: do not take them with other medications simultaneously, as this may affect the normal metabolism of the drug, reduce contraceptive effectiveness, and prevent unintended early pregnancy.
