What is the matter if the emergency contraceptive pill is delayed for a week and still hasn't arrived?

Patient's question:

I took emergency contraception three days after my last menstrual period last month, but it's been a week this month and my period still hasn't arrived. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your situation, although you have had sexual activity, you have also taken precautions such as using contraception and emergency post-coital contraception. Therefore, the chances of pregnancy are generally not high. The occurrence of irregular menstruation not only affects the patient's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. It is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
