Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Emergency pill can cause menstrual irregularity as a side effect.
In some women this will be short living but some women may have prolonged bleeding.
Now she can go for one ultrasound to rule out any other possible causes for inter-menstrual bleeding.
If no structural abnormality is there, she can start the oc pills from now-onwards.
First two days she has to take two tablets per day to decrease the bleeding, after that she can take one tablet per day.
After completion of the tablets, she can get the withdrawal bleeding within one week.
Then you can decide whether to continue the tablets or wait and watch in the next cycle.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.

Hi XXXXXXX
As I told previously emergency pill can alter the menstrual cycle.
It can change the menstruation depending on the period of the cycle when the woman takes the tablet.
As your wife took the tablet in the first half of the cycle, it might have preponed her periods leading to early menstruation.
Usually these flow will stop in few days.
But as your wife is having continuous flow better to get examined once.
Deviry should be taken regularly at the same of the day, if the schedule is altered it will induced withdrawal bleeding.
So let your wife undergo ultrasound once to rule out any other possible causes of bleeding.
If the cause is found to be only hormonal she can start the oc pills and they can help in stopping the flow.
After completion of one pack, she can observe the next cycle. If there is no abnormal bleeding she may stop taking the tablets.
You can choose some regular method of contraception in the future.
Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.

Hi,
-Fibroids develop in the uterus due to estrogen predominance.
By taking hormonal pills the natural hormonal levels can be controlled and low level of estrogen can be maintained.
So taking pills will help in decreasing the size of fibroids and in relieving the symptoms. So if she is not having any other medical problem, she can take the tablets as recommended by your doctor.
-Report is showing presence of multiple fibroids. But these are of smaller size.
Report is not normal but there is no serious problem also.
-She can continue the tablets as recommended by your doctor. After two months she can go for repeat scan and depending the report further mode of management can be planned.
