Does taking emergency contraception pills make your period come earlier?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. Will taking emergency contraception pills make my period come earlier?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, birth control pills are hormone-containing medications. The use of birth control pills may lead to endocrine disorders, hormonal imbalances in the body, symptoms such as delayed or early menstruation. It is recommended to use condoms during sexual activity while breastfeeding, as this does no harm to the body. Excessive stress, maintaining a cheerful mood, and consuming many foods that replenish qi and blood can help. Regular sleep schedules and active participation in physical exercise can regulate physical and mental health, as well as maintain personal hygiene.
