Patient's question:
I am 24 years old this year. Last month, I took emergency contraception twice, and this period was delayed by a few days. Hello, what is the reason for the delayed period after taking emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
How many days does the menstrual period delay after taking emergency contraception pills? This is considered to be caused by taking birth control pills, which is mainly a phenomenon resulting from hormone excretion. Generally, it can recover on its own. Additionally, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. You can use a pregnancy test kit around one week after the menstrual period delay to rule out pregnancy, and then proceed with treating the menstrual cycle. It is also important not to rely on birth control pills for contraception in daily life.
