What should I do if my period is delayed after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

Last time I had sex with my husband, I took a birth control pill. But this month, my period is delayed. I want to ask the doctor what to do if the period is delayed after taking a birth control pill?

Doctor's answer:

After taking birth control pills, it can lead to endocrine disorders, causing delayed menstruation. This is a side effect of the medication. If this occurs, you can drink a sufficient amount of brown sugar ginger water to nourish your body. During this period, it's important to pay attention to preventing colds, maintain a light diet, and avoid extremely cold foods like fruits and vegetables. Additionally, it's necessary to maintain a calm mood and avoid excessive stress.
