Patient's question:
Last night my boyfriend drank alcohol, and I felt a bit guilty. We had sex in his car without using any contraception. Afterward, I was worried about getting pregnant and took emergency contraception. But today I feel a little bloating and pain in my lower abdomen, and there are some broken skin in my vagina. What could be the reason for the broken skin after taking emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
How much bleeding is there? What color is it? Vaginal bleeding caused by birth control pills is a normal withdrawal bleeding, usually lasting for two or three days. If it continues for more than ten days without stopping, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are other reasons for the bleeding, such as cervical polyps or cervical erosion. At the same time, you can get a cervical cancer screening. If you don't want to get pregnant, you should take proper contraceptive measures, as taking too many birth control pills is not good for your health.
