What should I do if I have abnormal menstruation after taking birth control pills?

If you have menstrual abnormalities after taking birth control pills and there is no serious physical discomfort, you usually don't need treatment. If it's serious, you can see a doctor and take other medicines to improve it.

1. No treatment is required: Common contraceptives in clinical practice generally include ethinyl estradiol cyproterone acetate tablets, drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets, levonorgestrel tablets, etc. After taking these drugs, the state of cervical mucus can be changed to prevent sperm and egg from combining, thus achieving the purpose of contraception. After taking these drugs, the hormone levels in the body will change, so abnormal menstruation will occur, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If the symptoms are not serious, special treatment is generally not required. After stopping the drug for a period of time, menstruation will return to normal.

2. Medical examination: If menstruation does not come for a long time after taking contraceptives for a period of time, it may be due to contraceptive failure leading to pregnancy. At this time, women should see a doctor for an abdominal B-ultrasound examination, or a blood test for chorionic gonadotropin to observe whether they are pregnant.

3. Taking other medications: For abnormal conditions such as menstruation, prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual volume, etc., you can also take drogesterone tablets, progesterone capsules, gynecological menstrual regulating tablets and other medications under the guidance of a doctor. After taking the medication, the hormone level in the body can be adjusted.

In addition to the common methods mentioned above, you can also wear condoms or use intrauterine contraceptive rings for contraception, which can reduce harm to the female body.
