Does emergency contraception cause menstrual disorders?

Patient's question:

I have taken emergency contraception pills many times within a year, which has caused my menstrual cycle to be irregular. I took one last month, and now I have been bleeding for half a month without stopping. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is generally not advisable to take emergency contraception more than twice a month or more than three times a year. Excessive use may lead to menstrual irregularities, so it is important to monitor your condition. If you experience menstrual irregularities, you can take Wuji Baifeng pills or traditional Chinese herbal medicine to regulate your cycle. Maintaining a positive mood and getting sufficient sleep are also important for restoring your cycle.
