Patient's question:
On the second day of my period, I had sexual intercourse with him. Two days later, I took emergency contraception. After that, my period became very light, and this month, my period hasn't arrived yet—it's been almost a month. I've taken two pregnancy tests, and they were both negative. What's going on? What should I do? Should I take medication? What kind of medication? Is this a serious problem?Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, the use of emergency contraception may affect the endocrine system, leading to endocrine disorders and causing menstrual irregularities. Your current condition falls under menstrual irregularities.It is recommended to use reliable contraception methods during sexual activity, such as condoms or oral short-term birth control pills. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For those using contraception, self-care should be noted, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
