Patient's question:
The first two months, when I had sex with my boyfriend, he didn't wear a condom and didn't buy one in a hurry. Although he did it externally, I was worried about getting pregnant, so I took emergency contraception pills. But since then, my periods have been delayed. Doctor, after taking levonorgestrel tablets, what should I do if my menstruation is not normal?Doctor's answer:
After taking the emergency contraceptive pill containing levonorgestrel, the menstrual delay has reappeared. First, it is necessary to have a thorough check to determine if pregnancy has occurred. If it is not pregnancy, it is possible that the menstrual irregularity is caused by the oral contraceptive pill, as the hormones contained in the pill are relatively high, and taking the medication may lead to temporary menstrual disorders. Currently, the menstrual delay is considered to be a side effect of the drug. It is recommended to take some herbs that regulate the menstrual cycle and observe the situation.
