Patient's question:
I had sex with my boyfriend and took a birth control pill afterward. However, a week later, I broke out. I don’t want to have a child right now. I would like to ask the doctors, what is the likelihood of getting pregnant if I broke out a week after taking the birth control pill? What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, the skin peeling occurred one week after taking birth control pills. This situation is mainly due to the recurrence of withdrawal bleeding caused by oral contraceptives. The likelihood of pregnancy in this case is generally low. This condition usually does not require special intervention, and only careful observation of the amount of bleeding and whether it continues to increase is needed. If the vaginal bleeding continues to increase, it is necessary to visit a local hospital for follow-up. If the bleeding is not significant, it is recommended to visit a local hospital after one month for a re-examination to carefully observe how the uterine lining is being cleaned. If it is not cleaned properly, a D&C (dilation and curettage) may be necessary.
