Doctor's answer:
Premature menstruation is a symptom of menstrual irregularities. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the ability of menstruation to occur normally is most closely related to the liver, spleen, kidneys, and the Chong and Ren meridians. Women who experience premature menstruation are often qi deficiency or blood heat, which is equivalent to endocrine disorders in modern medicine. Generally, this sudden occurrence of menstruation after taking emergency contraception pills is accompanied by very light-colored menstrual flow that usually lasts only for one or two days. Subsequently, the timing of the next normal menstrual period may also be delayed by one or two days. Emergency contraception pills have a significant physiological impact on women, so it's best not to use them frequently. No more than once every six months is recommended, and it's preferable to avoid using them altogether.
