Why does taking birth control pills cause menstrual cramps?

Patient's question:

Hello everyone, before I didn't have the symptom of dysmenorrhea, but after taking emergency contraception, it appeared again. Why does taking birth control pills cause dysmenorrhea?

Doctor's answer:

If you are currently taking birth control pills, they can cause a series of reactions in a woman's body and stimulate changes in her endocrine system, thereby altering the duration of your menstrual cycle. If you experience menstrual cramps again after taking birth control pills, it is likely due to some gynecological condition you may have. It is recommended that you visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a specific examination. If you are diagnosed with gynecological inflammation, it is advisable to seek timely treatment.
