I I usually had irregular periods. Like periods lasting the least 2 days or the most 2 weeks. Now I had sex. And took an emergency contraceptive pill. Postinor 2. And now I am having extremely heavy period flows. Why? And do you recommend I take minigynon as a birth control method?

Hello,

* The heavy menses is due to sloughing of endometrial cells via effect of uterus which was turned into secretory changes from previous state.
* Let the menses settle on its own, rather than taking birth control.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
