Patient's question:
HelloI took emergency contraception a few days ago – on December 21st. Eight days later, on December 29th, I had my period. Compared to usual, the amount was very light and the color was dull. I usually get my period on the 7th of each month, and it completely ends in 5 days. This time, my period has lasted until today (a total of 12 days) and is still ongoing, with very little flow.
Could you please tell me: Is this normal?
Thank you
Doctor's answer:
The side effects of emergency contraception pills are significant, so it is recommended that you avoid taking them in the future. This will gradually improve. In addition to regular treatment for contraception, patients need to consult experts more often and maintain communication with doctors. Patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should choose a top-tier hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
