Patient's question:
I had several sexual encounters with my boyfriend in the past month, as he is about to move to a different place. So, we've been feeling a bit reluctant these past few days. However, since we didn't want to use condoms, I've been taking birth control pills. Now, after starting the pills, my period has become irregular. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After taking birth control pills, it is possible to experience menstrual irregularities. This condition is a side effect of birth control pills. It is recommended that you pay attention to avoiding cold exposure, stop taking birth control pills, and take many blood-activating and period-regulating medications under the guidance of a doctor, which can help regulate your menstrual cycle. Eat plenty of high-protein foods, which can aid digestion and nutrition. Avoid overtime work and exposure to cold. The above information can be used as a reference.
