Patient's question:
I have been worried about getting pregnant when I have sex with my boyfriend, so I always take the birth control pill after we finish. But recently, I've noticed that my period is a bit irregular. I'd like to ask for some advice on how to take care of myself when taking birth control pills regularly.Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills can disrupt the endocrine system, leading to menstrual irregularities. However, if the misuse of medication is stopped, it generally takes about 1-2 months for the body to naturally adjust itself. If the body cannot adjust on its own, artificial cycle adjustment may be necessary. An in-depth endocrine check-up can be conducted to assess the differences between hormone levels in the body and standard values. Medication regulation should be done under the guidance of a doctor.
