Patient's question:
After taking emergency contraception, I started bleeding after five days, and my usual menstrual period also occurs around this time. Can I consider this as a normal period? Additionally, is there a possibility of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described may be withdrawal bleeding, which can be considered as one menstrual period. It is generally unlikely to result in pregnancy. Birth control pills belong to the category of hormones, and taking them may lead to irregular menstruation. It is recommended not to take birth control pills frequently. It is advisable to maintain a regular lifestyle and diet, pay attention to personal hygiene, and change underwear frequently. Underwear should be boiled in boiling water and then exposed to the sun for drying.
