Patient's question:
I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a year, but we haven't gotten married yet. Recently this month, because he entered me, I took emergency contraception. Now my period is very irregular, with dark blood clots that have lasted for eight days. In addition to the lump in my breast, how should I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Emergency contraception pills contain a high amount of hormone components, primarily progesterone. After women take this medication, the vaginal lining rapidly regenerates, which helps prevent pregnancy. The most common side effect of this medication is irregular menstruation. You can visit a gynecology clinic at a reputable public hospital, explain your condition, and discuss treatment options such as oral medication to increase vaginal bleeding. It's important to use proper contraception methods in the future and avoid taking emergency contraception pills while breastfeeding.
