Patient's question:
I am 21 years old. Last week, I had my first sexual experience with my boyfriend. We didn't use any contraception, and after the intercourse, we were afraid of getting pregnant, so I took Yu Ting. Three days later, I got my period. My period had just stopped before the intercourse. Could you please explain why I had my period again? Is this method of contraception effective? Thank you.First follow-up question: My period was from the 21st to the 26th, and on the 26th, it basically stopped. On the evening of the 26th, we had our first sexual intercourse without using any contraception. Was the possibility of pregnancy high? On the 27th, I took Yu Ting, and on the 30th, my period came again. What could be the reason? Was the contraception successful?
Doctor's answer:
This is a side effect of emergency contraception. Due to the withdrawal bleeding caused by the cessation of estrogen-containing drugs, it slightly affects your endocrine system, but it's not a big deal and won't cause pregnancy. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
