Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had sex with my boyfriend without taking any precautions. Later, I took emergency contraception, but why did I have bleeding after taking it?Doctor's answer:
If you do not use contraception during sexual activity, taking emergency contraception within 72 hours after sex can be effective in preventing pregnancy. Oral contraceptives may cause vaginal bleeding again 5 to 7 days later, as this is normal withdrawal bleeding and does not require concern or special treatment. You should drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and ensure sufficient and good-quality deep sleep.
