Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I accidentally took emergency contraception pills. After taking the first one, I forgot to take the second one within 12 hours. Later, I took the second one after 24 hours and then took an additional one 12 hours after that. Maybe because of this, my period came about 10 days earlier. Previously, my period lasted around 4-5 days, but now it has been going on for 8 days and still hasn't stopped, with the flow being quite light. What could be the reason for this, and what should I do now?!!!!!Thank you!!!!!! First follow-up question: Because the bleeding was light, I had sex with my husband on the sixth night.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is no problem with your situation, and you don't need to worry, because your condition is a symptom of menstrual irregularity caused by taking birth control pills. The occurrence of menstrual irregularity not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then treat it accordingly. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the skin of the vulva clean.
