Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Due to my ignorance, I took nearly 6 emergency contraceptive pills within 15 days in July. Later, I learned that taking a large amount has significant side effects.I had normal menstruation in July and September, but I had amenorrhea in August. In October, my menstrual blood turned black and became very minimal, and since then, I haven’t had a period. I deeply regret my ignorance at the time.
What symptoms might I experience in the future? I’m about to get married—will this affect my fertility? What should I pay attention to? If I can have children, how long should I wait? Will I develop other conditions?
Doctor's answer:
Oral contraceptives can affect endocrine disorders, which then lead to menstrual disorders. You should not take oral contraceptives more than three times within a year. Taking them more than three times can affect fertility and even lead to infertility. It is recommended that you stop taking oral contraceptives from now on and focus on regulating your body well.
