What are the side effects of taking post-coital medication on the body?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the side effects of taking post-coital medication on the body?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, taking post-coital medication can delay the next menstrual period. It may also cause a temporary increase in hormone levels in the blood due to temporary medication, followed by a decrease and subsequent withdrawal bleeding, which manifests as an early menstrual period. The side effects of birth control pills may lead to endocrine disorders, menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, infertility, or gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, weight gain, nervousness, low mood, skin hyperpigmentation, and acne, among others. Birth control pills should not be used more than three times within a year, and only once per month.
