Patient's question:
Last month, I took emergency contraception. My menstrual cycle was not affected at that time, but this month, it actually came 10 days earlier. I want to ask if it has anything to do with the emergency contraception pill. Does the emergency contraception pill affect the menstrual cycle of the month after? The pill I took is Yuting.Doctor's answer:
Hello, as you mentioned, it generally would. Because emergency contraception pills contain sex hormone components, their main function is to interfere with normal hormone levels in the body, causing changes in the endometrium, making it unsuitable for fertilized eggs to implant, thereby achieving the purpose of contraception. Therefore, using emergency contraception pills can cause menstrual disorders. If taken long-term, irregular menstrual cycles can affect normal conception, and it can also lead to other diseases.
