Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I stopped taking birth control pills last November, and I've been bleeding non-stop from the end of last December until now. What could be the problem? First follow-up question: During this period, my lower back also sometimes aches a bit. Could it be related to conditions like pelvic inflammatory disease?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills should generally be taken no more than once a month and no more than three times a year. Taking them too frequently can affect ovarian function. My dear friend, since you have already taken them five times, there is no immediate concern as your menstrual cycle hasn't shown significant changes. In the future, please take proper contraceptive measures and avoid using emergency contraception pills regularly for birth control. You can conceive the following month after stopping emergency contraception pills.
