Patient's question:
After taking emergency contraception, my period arrived a week late. But it has been going on for almost half a month. At first, there was a lot of blood flow, but after a few days, it decreased. However, it has been intermittent ever since, and the blood flow has increased again in the last two days. It's also heavy today. My stomach still hurts. I'm also a bit dizzy.Doctor's answer:
A normal menstrual cycle is 28-30 days, and the duration of menstruation is 3-7 days. There are two main causes of menstrual disorders: 1. Dysfunction of the nervous-endocrine system: This is primarily due to instability or defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which is known as menstrual disorders. 2. Organic lesions or drug-induced causes: This includes local inflammation of the reproductive organs, among others. Since the causes differ, the treatment methods also vary. It is recommended that you visit a specialized hospital for examination. Based on the examination results, you should receive symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
