Patient's question:
This month's menstrual period is light and accompanied by abdominal pain. Could it be related to taking emergency contraception? It's not withdrawal bleeding. It's a normal physiological period. Although the menstrual flow is light, how does that represent not being pregnant?Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual flow after taking emergency contraception is significantly lighter than usual, accompanied by abdominal pain, it is recommended to visit a hospital for tests to check progesterone levels and pelvic ultrasound. This situation requires distinguishing between pregnancy-related threatened miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. It is not necessarily true that bleeding means you are not pregnant. The recurrence of gynecological conditions poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding sexual activity in daily life. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive proper treatment.
