Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, last menstrual period on December 3rd. Had sexual intercourse on December 11th and took post-coital contraceptive "Yuteng". The next day, she caught a cold while traveling and took cold medicine, though she does not remember the name but it was definitely from a pharmacy. The cold lasted for five days before she recovered.On December 15th, she noticed an increase in white discharge compared to before, and the hospital diagnosed it as mild "vaginitis," prescribing two medications to be alternated every other day for external use: "Povidone-Iodine Film" and "Diazoxide." She has been using them for six consecutive days.
On December 22nd, her areolas slightly swelled. The doctor at the hospital had not seen this before and advised her to continue monitoring. Later, she began experiencing mild breast tenderness.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your situation, taking a contraceptive pill within 72 hours after cohabitation can achieve the effect of contraception. The delay in menstruation is very likely caused by the endocrine disorder induced by the contraceptive pill, but it is not yet certain. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up two weeks after the delay in menstruation or use a pregnancy test kit to see if you are pregnant.
