Menstrual disorders caused by emergency contraceptive pills are recommended to be treated with medications such as Gongxuening Capsules, Gynecological Duanxueliu, and estrogen. Patients can also drink more water to promote the excretion of contraceptive drugs from the body, reduce side effects, and help completely eliminate any residual contraceptive medication. After the drug is fully expelled, menstrual irregularities may resolve spontaneously. It is advised that patients avoid consuming greasy foods, cold and sweet foods, and minimize smoking and alcohol consumption to prevent worsening of menstrual disorders.
