Patient's question:
I had my period on October 26th, but it didn't come by November 26th, and it still hasn't arrived as of today, December 5th. However, a new issue has emerged. Since November 26th, I've been experiencing occasional minor bleeding in my legs, along with a reddish-brown discharge. Hello doctor, what could be the cause of this? Have I contracted a disease?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Before October 26th, I visited a doctor at the hospital because of irregular menstruation. The reason was that I had taken birth control pills excessively. The doctor prescribed some medication for me, and after taking it, my period arrived.
What assistance I need: Hello doctor, how serious is my condition? Does it resemble any specific illness? Please help me.
Doctor's answer:
If post-coital contraception pills work by affecting the hormonal balance in the body to override the purpose of postpartum breastfeeding. Therefore, taking post-coital contraception pills can easily cause menstrual cycle disorders, which is also the usual consequence of post-coital emergency contraception pills. The most common side effect of emergency contraception pills is the recurrence of menstruation earlier than expected; many women may also experience delayed menstruation. These are all manifestations of menstrual disorders. It is recommended that you do not take contraception pills frequently, as excessive use can not only disrupt menstruation but also potentially lead to infertility.
