Patient's question:
On September 17th, I had my period. In October, I took the birth control pill and got my period on the 23rd. Now my period hasn't come. There are white secretions in my underwear. Is it going to come?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, the withdrawal bleeding after taking oral contraceptives proves that breastfeeding is successful, and the continuous increase in discharge is a symptom of an impending menstrual period. Generally, after taking emergency contraception, a withdrawal bleed will occur, indicating that the first menstrual period has already started. The next menstrual period will be counted from the first day of this withdrawal bleeding. Emergency contraception should not be taken frequently, as it can easily lead to menstrual irregularities.It is recommended to pay attention to rest and avoid cold exposure, prevent overexertion, maintain a good mood, and do not get overly anxious—excessive stress can cause the menstrual period to be delayed.
