Doctor's answer:
Premature menstruation is a symptom of menstrual irregularities. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the ability of menstruation to occur normally is most closely related to the liver, spleen, kidneys, and the two meridians. Women with premature menstruation are often physically qi-deficient or blood-heat, which is equivalent to endocrine disorders in modern medicine. Generally, this sudden occurrence of menstruation after taking emergency contraception pills is accompanied by very light-colored menstruation that usually lasts only one or two days. Subsequently, the timing of the next normal menstrual period may also be delayed by one or two days. Emergency contraception pills have a significant physiological impact on women, so it's best not to use them frequently. No more than once every six months is the maximum, and it's preferable to avoid using them altogether.
