Patient's question:
My period usually comes at the end of the month. After having sex on June 26th, I took emergency contraception, and my period arrived normally on the 30th. On July 29th, I had unprotected sex and took a post-coital pill that evening. However, as of August 6th, my period is almost a week late and hasn't arrived yet. Instead, I've had some clear, egg-white-like discharge. Is it possible that I'm pregnant??Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation could be caused by pregnancy due to contraceptive failure, or it might be the result of delayed menstruation caused by taking birth control pills. You can do a pregnancy test to check. If you're not pregnant, pay attention to your daily care. Usually, your period will return in a few days.The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
