Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a period problem. I had unprotected sex after which I took an emergency contraceptive pill Unwanted-72. Now, my period is delayed. What to do?
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query and understood your concern.
Periods can be irregular after emergency pill intake and this side effect last only for one to two months. So most probably you will get normal periods from next month. No medicine is required for this. But, I suggest you do a urine pregnancy test once as sometimes there can be irregular bleeding even with pregnancy.
I hope this has helped you.
Thanks and regards.
