What is the situation when emergency contraception causes irregular menstruation?

Patient's question:

Hello,
Last month, my husband and I did not take any precautions, so we took emergency contraception. This month, my period came 10 days early. However, two weeks later, my period came again, and it was a bit black in color. What could be the reason for this? Is it serious?
Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after your menstrual period this month, you took birth control pills, but your period came again. This may be due to abnormal hormone secretion causing endocrine disorders, leading to menstrual irregularities. In this case, there are certain issues with the timing of your menstrual period, so you must pay close attention. It requires long-term regulation and improvement. It is recommended to choose traditional Chinese medicine methods for improvement, especially acupuncture therapy, which has already achieved good results in clinical practice. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to daily regulation. Avoid eating cold and irritating foods in your diet, and adjust your sleep schedule for regular routines. Also, maintain good personal hygiene to prevent the occurrence of other inflammatory conditions.
