Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, when I was dating my boyfriend, he didn't wear a condom. After the incident, I took emergency contraception. But later, I remembered that my period came. I don't know how it could have been affected. What happens if you take the pill before your period?Doctor's answer:
The side effects of general birth control pills can manifest as early pregnancy-like symptoms, irregular vaginal bleeding during menstruation, prolonged menstrual cycles, excessive or insufficient menstrual blood, breast swelling, palpitations, flushing, lower back pain, abdominal pain, leukorrhea, etc. Multiple myeloma, such as excessive or insufficient menstrual blood and increased leukorrhea after taking long-acting birth control pills, usually does not require treatment. If other symptoms recur frequently, it is best to visit a hospital for a thorough examination.
