Patient's question:
Menstruation has been delayed for two months. Two months ago, I took birth control pills.Doctor's answer:
Oral progesterone has a certain effect on gynecological diseases such as dysfunctional uterine bleeding and menstrual disorders caused by luteal insufficiency. Of course, long-term use also has certain side effects, such as headaches, skin itching, abnormal liver and kidney function, jaundice, decreased menstruation, depression, breast tenderness, etc. Long-term use should be monitored accordingly. For you, if you only take progesterone for a short period, it is generally not likely to cause these side effects. However, if you are taking emergency contraception, such as Norplant, you may experience side effects such as delayed menstruation. Of course, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of pregnancy due to contraceptive failure.
