Patient's question:
After sexual intercourse with someone has ended, occasionally there are one or two times when one might take a birth control pill. After taking the birth control pill, one's menstrual period cannot come for a long time. What's the reason why the menstrual period doesn't come after taking the birth control pill? Is a birth control pill a type of medication that contains a lot of hormones? Does it stimulate the uterus?Doctor's answer:
General contraceptive medications still affect a woman's menstrual cycle, so it's important to monitor the cycle. If menstruation is delayed after stopping the medication, it is likely that endocrine disorders may have reoccurred, and it is necessary to pay close attention to hygiene and safety. You can also check how well deep sleep is functioning, as stress or anxiety can also affect the menstrual cycle. Contraceptive medications are generally hormone-based and can have side effects.
