Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 25 years old, and I have been taking birth control pills. Now, I have noticed that my menstruation has returned with unusual symptoms. It hasn't arrived yet, and it's delayed. Could the birth control pills be causing the delay in my period?Doctor's answer:
There are various types of birth control pills. If you frequently take emergency contraception pills, this medication has relatively significant side effects, which may lead to menstrual irregularities and cause delayed menstruation. Patients need to consider the specific type of medication used to speculate on the reason for the delayed menstruation. During the period of delayed menstruation, it is first necessary to rule out pregnancy. After ruling out pregnancy, further diagnosis and treatment can be carried out according to menstrual irregularities.
