What is the situation when experiencing lower back pain and chest pain after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

Normal 3rd day of the menstrual cycle had intercourse on the 14th, took emergency contraception within one hour. On the 22nd, experienced withdrawal bleeding for four days. On the 29th, had intercourse with withdrawal, using external ejaculation. Over the past two days, have been feeling lower back pain and chest pain, without leukorrhea, and no abdominal pain. Hello, is this pregnancy, expected menstruation, or a side effect of the medication?

Doctor's answer:

Considering the possibility of an impending menstrual period, generally speaking, if you had intercourse on the 29th, the chances of getting pregnant are not very high. It is recommended to wait and see. If you do not plan to get pregnant, you can use contraceptive measures such as condoms. However, it is best to avoid taking oral contraceptives frequently, as they may cause menstrual irregularities. Maintain cleanliness of the external genital area to prevent infection, wait and see, and eat less spicy, cold, and irritating foods.
