Patient's question:
Last week, I took levonorgestrel tablets for emergency breastfeeding. My period didn't come this month. I want to ask what is the reason for amenorrhea in the second month after taking levonorgestrel tablets?Doctor's answer:
Levonorgestrel tablets are an emergency contraceptive. They are primarily used when no contraceptive measures are taken during sexual intercourse within 72 hours, and are taken orally. Taking emergency contraceptives can easily lead to endocrine disorders, which may result in irregular menstruation. Therefore, it is consistent with the clinical diagnostic response of the drug if you experience multiple episodes of amenorrhea in the second month after taking Yu Ting. You don't need to be too anxious; it usually returns to normal within three months. However, you must rule out whether you are pregnant.
