Brief Answer:
Better to get evaluated
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency contraceptive pill can lead to few side effects.
But using one pill may not lead to much problems. Frequent use of pills can lead to hormonal disturbances.
According to your history, the possible causes are:
-Hormonal imbalance. I pill may or may not be responsible for that.
Thyroid hormonal abnormalities. This can affect menstrual cycle and other metabolisms.
-Disturbances in liver function. Which can lead to rise in the hormonal levels and high cholesterol levels.
-Local causes like pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis etc. These can lead to pain abdomen, menstrual disturbances etc.
So, better to consult gynecologist once and take treatment to control the bleeding first.
Then get investigated to find out the cause for the problem. Like:
-Ultrasound
-Hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, thyroid profile etc.
-Liver function tests etc.
With this workup the possible cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the response, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
