Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been taking birth control pills for 3 years straight. I stopped taking them in March of this year, and my period has been delayed since then. The period that came on June 18th didn't stop until almost mid-July. The doctor said my endocrine system is out of balance and prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication, Sanqi Xueshangning, and ethinyl estradiol. I also received three days of progesterone injections. By the second day of taking the medication on July 17th, my period had stopped.In mid-August, it came again. It lasted for a week, which is still considered normal. This time in September, it lasted until October 4th and didn't stop until October 15th. It has now been until December, and it still hasn't arrived. During this time, I noticed two instances of blood, but after observing for two days, it still didn't come. I don't know what to do and feel very worried.
Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills can cause certain changes to the menstrual cycle, potentially advancing or delaying it. Repeatedly taking emergency contraception pills multiple times may lead to menstrual disorders, bleeding, or prolonged spotting. If the menstrual cycle remains abnormal and uncomfortable for a long time, it is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up of the six hormone tests and receive symptomatic treatment.Yuting is not a regular emergency contraception pill. As a dedicated emergency contraceptive medication, it is only occasionally used in urgent situations of contraceptive failure, and its effectiveness is good in such cases. However, if it is used as a regular contraceptive method, it cannot effectively play its role in a targeted manner, and thus its effectiveness will naturally be inferior to that of regular contraception methods. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a check-up of the six hormone tests.
