Patient's question:
After sexual activity, I took a birth control pill and recently noticed that my menstrual cycle is irregular. The doctor said it's due to endocrine disorder. I want to ask how to deal with endocrine disorder caused by birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed the situation you mentioned. The main reason for your current endocrine imbalance is taking birth control pills, especially emergency contraception pills. You should not take more than three emergency contraception pills within a year. The current primary solution is to stop taking the medication. Emergency contraception pills are only emergency measures and should not be used as regular medication. First, you need to give your body some time to fully recover. Once the endometrium returns to normal, your menstrual cycle will also return to normal.
