Can birth control pills cause ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

My period has been delayed for several days, and it hasn't arrived yet. Moreover, the amount of blood flow is very minimal. Previously, my period would always end within 3 days, but now it has been 7 days, and it still doesn't feel like it's going to stop. Can smartphone applications cause functional issues?

Doctor's answer:

Long-term use of emergency contraception pills can trigger the aforementioned possibilities. If you confirm it is your period, then ectopic pregnancy can be ruled out, as menstruation has already occurred, meaning pregnancy is not possible. Emergency contraception pills can cause menstrual irregularities, so you should be mentally prepared. For severe ectopic pregnancy cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
