Patient's question:
I often take emergency contraception pills after cohabiting with my husband, but I have uterine fibroids that haven't been treated yet. Hello to all friends who know, what are the effects of having uterine fibroids and frequently taking emergency contraception pills?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills can disrupt hormone levels in the body, leading to menstrual irregularities. Due to their effects in suppressing and delaying menopause and inhibiting the uterine lining, emergency contraception pills can cause the next menstrual period to be delayed. Additionally, temporary use of these pills may result in a temporary decline in hormone levels in the blood. Emergency contraception pills should only be taken 2-3 times a year. In case of any abnormalities, it is important to seek follow-up treatment at a regular hospital gynecology department. For patients, if the condition of uterine fibroids is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, uterine fibroids may recur. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can assist everyone.
