Patient's question:
I took the birth control pill on the 4th of this month. My period arrived on time this time, but the flow was light, and I have mild breast tenderness and a slightly bloated lower abdomen. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Hello; the preliminary diagnosis is that it may be caused by emergency contraception pills, which can lead to certain changes in the menstrual cycle, such as early or delayed periods. Emergency contraception pills can cause menstrual disorders, bleeding, or prolonged spotting. If it results in long-term abnormal discomfort, it is recommended to visit a hospital for hormone tests and symptomatic treatment.
