Emergency contraception can delay menstruation

Emergency contraceptives usually delay menstruation.

Emergency contraceptives contain a large amount of progesterone, which can cause large changes in hormone levels in the body. Fluctuations in hormone levels may interfere with the normal menstrual cycle, leading to menstrual delay. In addition, the endometrium is regularly proliferated and exfoliated under the regulation of hormones, forming menstruation. Emergency contraceptives may break this balance, making changes in the endometrium out of sync, resulting in menstrual delay.

Emergency contraceptives cannot be used frequently as a conventional contraceptive method, which may not only cause menstrual disorders, but also cause other adverse effects on the body. If menstrual abnormalities persist or are accompanied by other discomfort, seek medical advice in time for further diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, when choosing a contraceptive method, consult a doctor according to your own situation and choose a suitable and safe contraceptive method.
