Patient's question:
I had sex with my girlfriend 7 days before her period, and I took the post-coital pill as instructed. However, it has been 3 days since her period was supposed to start, and she still hasn't gotten it. I'm a little worried. I'm asking for advice.Doctor's answer:
From your situation, it could be caused by menstrual disorders due to taking birth control pills, leading to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to wait and see if you will have a normal menstrual cycle next time. Emergency contraception pills should not be used more than three times in a year, and only once per month. It is advisable to adopt other contraceptive measures. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can have certain harms on the body. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to warmth and avoiding cold exposure.
