Patient's question:
Yesterday I had sex with my partner and was afraid of getting pregnant, so I took emergency contraception. Today, I feel a bit nauseous after eating the birth control pill. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Generally, after taking emergency contraception pills, some women may experience symptoms such as nausea, dry abdominal pain, and others. Some women may also experience a secondary withdrawal bleeding within three to seven days after taking emergency contraception pills. This is a normal side effect and usually disappears within about 24 hours, so there is no need to worry too much. Due to the side effects of emergency contraception pills, it is recommended that you do not take them less than once a year and do not take them less than twice within three months.
