Why does menstruation not come for a long time after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I am 23 years old this year, and I have been living with my boyfriend for over a year. However, because we are not married, every time we have sex, either he uses a condom or I take birth control pills. But after the last time we had sex and I took birth control pills, my period didn't come for a long time. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is best to use a pregnancy test kit to check carefully. If you are not pregnant, it could be due to simple menstrual irregularities. If necessary, you should go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium at that moment. Appropriately use many blood-activating and period-regulating medications, and the effect is relatively good. In these days, you should pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid eating too many spicy foods, and take care of your safety. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
