Patient's question:
Doctor:Hello!
I had two unprotected sexual encounters with my husband last month and took emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy, which is a medication called Postinor. Now my period is a week late and I suspect I might be pregnant. I took two pregnancy test strips within a week, and both showed negative results. What could be the reason? Should I continue waiting for my period or go to the hospital for a check-up?
First follow-up question:
Doctor: Hello! I had two unprotected sexual encounters with my husband last month and took emergency contraception.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is caused by psychological factors leading to menstrual disorders. It is recommended to receive an intramuscular injection of progesterone to induce menstruation. Using it for three consecutive days generally leads to menstruation stopping 3-7 days after discontinuation. Generally, doctors advise women with preterm labor risks to maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, as well as cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
