Patient's question:
I am taking Marvelon, but my period has been delayed by 5 days and still hasn't arrived. However, I am definitely not pregnant. Moreover, after taking this medication, I feel breast tenderness and spots on my face. Could you please ask the doctor if I can switch to another birth control pill? How should I take it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, emergency contraceptive pills usually contain a high level of estrogen. The dosage of one emergency pill is equivalent to that of 8 days of regular short-term oral contraceptives. Taking too much can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, menstrual cycle disorders, ovarian suppression, and other phenomena, disrupting normal menstruation and causing endocrine disorders.
