Patient's question:
Recently I haven't been feeling well, so I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it was due to the side effects of taking birth control pills. So, I'd like to ask a few questions: How long does the irritability last after taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Oral emergency contraception can lead to menstrual irregularities, withdrawal bleeding, and rarely changes in temperament. This may be related to emotions. Repeated use of emergency contraception can cause endocrine disorders, which may result in menstrual irregularities. Currently, you may feel restless and irritable, and your temperament might be due to temporary emotional fluctuations.First, you should not take emergency contraception. Additionally, I recommend taking Yi Mu Cao Granules, Gui Zhi Fu Ling Capsules, and Xia Yao Wan for regulation. You should maintain a healthy diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, consume high-protein foods, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and engage in various activities to boost your body. Life should be regular. Avoid frequent overtime work to prevent hormonal imbalances or insufficient excretion, which could lead to other health issues.
