Why does the stomach ache after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

After taking emergency contraception, I've been having stomach pain. It was the night of the 7th when it happened, and I took the pill on the night of the 8th. Now I still have a slight stomach ache, but other symptoms like headaches and nausea have disappeared. Should I go to the hospital?
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment. What kind of help do you need? Hello, is stomach pain normal? Should I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up? How long will it take to disappear?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I fully understand your feelings. After taking emergency contraception pills, many people experience further discomfort, and this situation generally does not require treatment. It will naturally adjust itself after three months. Abdominal pain is also a reaction to taking these pills. If the pain is not severe, there is no need to go to the hospital. Generally, abdominal pain will improve within a week. Additionally, patients should develop a regular lifestyle and maintain good habits, persisting with the treatment.
