Patient's question:
I have irregular periods and have never had a thorough check-up before. This time, I had sex with my boyfriend without taking any protection, and I was thinking of taking medication myself. However, taking medication can be harmful to the body, especially since I have irregular periods. Can I take emergency contraception? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
You have a roommate, and you didn't use protection. If you're not prepared to get pregnant, it's generally necessary to use a method of contraception to prevent an accidental pregnancy. You could consider taking emergency contraception medication. You already have irregular periods, so taking emergency contraception medication might alleviate the symptoms of irregular periods, as it can interfere with menstruation and cause withdrawal bleeding. If you don't take it regularly, it usually won't cause significant interference. You need to pay close attention and carefully observe your menstrual cycle. If necessary, you can consult a doctor for guidance on regulating your period.
