Does birth control pills cause menstrual disorders?

Patient's question:

I had my period 8 days ago and took emergency contraception. On the third day, my period came again, and it hasn't stopped yet. I don't have any pain, and there aren't any other symptoms—just that my period isn't stopping.

Doctor's answer:

This condition is caused by menstrual irregularities due to the use of birth control pills, which affect the endocrine system. Regulating the endocrine system primarily involves diet and exercise, with medication as a supplementary treatment when necessary. It is important to develop good dietary habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink plenty of water, and replenish the body's required moisture.
