Patient's question:
Did the emergency contraceptive pill Yu Ting I took last time have an effect? I just said that I took the second pill three hours after the time indicated on the instructions.Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives can affect the menstrual cycle and the amount of menstrual flow. Taking them may lead to prolonged periods, increased menstrual flow, or even complete menstrual disruption. Therefore, it is essential to take contraceptives properly, especially emergency contraceptives. Emergency contraceptives are effective if taken within 72 hours after intercourse, but this varies from person to person. Additionally, taking contraceptives can have certain side effects on the body, such as disrupting hormone levels, which may lead to menstrual irregularities. Based on your description, if your menstrual cycle is delayed by more than 10 days and you have not experienced menstruation, it is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's gynecology department for relevant examinations. After a clear diagnosis, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
