Patient's question:
On the 5th day of my period (January 1st), I had sexual intercourse. Afterward (January 2nd), I took Yu Ting. Today (January 8th), I started bleeding. My period usually occurs around the 27th. What could be the reason for this? Am I pregnant? How many times can I take Yu Ting in a year? What are the side effects on the body?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills cause a rapid drop in hormone levels in the human body in a short period of time, which will definitely have an impact on menstruation. It is generally recommended to take them every three to six months, as taking too many can be harmful. Wait and see next month if this happens every time during the mid-cycle of your period. If it does, it might be ovulation bleeding. A small amount is fine, but if it's excessive, you may need to regulate it with traditional Chinese medicine.
