Taking emergency contraceptive pills affects menstruation

Women always have their periods for a few days every month. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. The normal menstrual cycle is once a month, but some people experience two periods in a month. This is a sign of irregular menstruation and must be taken seriously.

Reasons for having two periods in one month:

Emotional abnormalities: Long-term mental depression, sulking, or severe mental stimulation and psychological trauma can all lead to menstrual disorders or dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea. This is because menstruation is caused by the stimulation of the endometrium by hormones secreted by the ovaries, and the secretion of hormones by the ovaries is controlled by the release of hormones from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Therefore, any abnormality in the function of the ovaries, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus will affect menstruation, resulting in two periods in a month.

Emergency contraceptive pills: Emergency contraceptive pills have the effect of inhibiting the female endometrium, thereby delaying the next menstruation, which may cause a woman to have two menstruations in a month. Or temporary use of the pills may cause a temporary increase in hormone levels in the female blood, and withdrawal bleeding may occur after it decreases, which may cause a woman to have two menstruations in a month. If you have two menstrual periods in a month, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis in time.

Lifestyle habits: Some bad lifestyle habits can also lead to menstrual disorders in women. If women like to stay cool and catch a cold during menstruation, the blood vessels in the pelvis will constrict, leading to ovarian dysfunction, which can cause early menstruation, too little menstrual flow, or even amenorrhea. Various household appliances and electronic devices will generate different electromagnetic waves during use. Long-term exposure of these electromagnetic waves to the human body will have a negative impact on women's endocrine and reproductive functions, leading to endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders.

What to do if you have two periods in one month:

To treat menstrual disorders, the cause of the disease should be identified in advance so that symptomatic treatment can be given. If a woman has two periods a month, the treatment usually starts with tonifying the kidney, supporting the spleen, soothing the liver, and regulating qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that menstrual fluid comes from the kidneys, so the key to regulating the menstrual cycle is to nourish the kidneys. After conditioning, the kidney qi is sufficient and the essence and blood are abundant, and the menstrual cycle will naturally be regulated. The method of tonifying the kidney is mainly to replenish essence and blood.

In addition to nourishing the kidneys, women also need to nourish the spleen properly. The function of the spleen is to produce blood. Nourishing the spleen and stomach can replenish the body's blood supply. The spleen-strengthening method focuses on strengthening the spleen and raising yang. The purpose of soothing the liver and regulating qi is to regulate qi and unblock qi and blood. If qi and blood are in harmony, the menstrual cycle will be regulated. The method of soothing the liver must grasp the main symptoms of depression. Traditional medicine diagnoses and treats based on symptoms, using the method of tonifying the kidney and spleen, regulating qi and activating blood circulation to harmonize qi and blood, nourish yin and grow yang, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and allow essence and blood to flow smoothly.
