Vaginal bleeding is withdrawal bleeding or menstruation

Patient's question:

Hello,
After taking emergency contraception last month, I had vaginal bleeding on the 10th. Was it withdrawal bleeding or my period?
I usually have my period early, but it hasn't arrived yet this month (on the 9th). Could I be pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

If the duration and amount ofal bleeding are not significantly different from usual, it can replace menstruation, and the next menstrual period can be calculated based on this. However, taking emergency contraception pills often causes menstrual disorders, and it usually takes three months to return to normal. Emergency contraception pills have significant side effects, and they should only be taken once a month, with a maximum of three times a year. From then on, contraceptive measures must be taken before sexual intercourse. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects a woman's body but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal examination, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
