Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Female: After coitus, she took a contraceptive pill afterward. Menstruation came around 10 days later. This time, it arrived one week earlier than usual, and the flow was very light, whereas it was normal before. Is it possible she is pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it should be considered as withdrawal bleeding caused by oral contraceptives, not menstruation. It is also recommended that you pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area and maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia. After taking oral contraceptives, withdrawal bleeding and menstrual disorders are common side effects, which can be reassuring. In fact, under normal circumstances, any form of contraception can cause certain harm to women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Contraceptive users should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet appropriately and ensuring warmth to avoid catching a cold.
