Patient's question:
I heard that taking emergency contraception pills can have quite a negative impact on women, making it easier to cause irregular periods. I already have irregular periods myself, so will taking this medication make my condition worse? But since I've already taken the emergency contraception pill, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception medication is mostly a type of hormone-based drug, primarily composed of estrogen and progesterone. This medication can affect menstruation and may cause withdrawal bleeding. If you take it only occasionally, it is highly unlikely to impact your menstrual cycle, nor will it alleviate irregular periods. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively. You should adopt proper contraceptive measures. Generally, it is not advisable to take emergency contraception medication frequently, especially since you have irregular periods. In necessary cases, medication can be used to regulate your cycle.
