Abstract in brief

  • Levonorgestrel emergency contraception (EC) is widely regarded as the standard hormonal method, but it can cause temporary changes in menstrual patterns.
  • A study involving women in Cameroon showed that many experienced altered menstrual cycle length, bleeding amount, and appearance, especially depending on the timing of EC intake relative to ovulation.
  • These menstrual changes were generally short-lived, returning to normal in the cycle after EC use.
