Patient's question:
After I started dating my boyfriend, I quickly took the emergency contraceptive pill. But after taking the pill, there was constant leakage of blood down there, and quite a lot of it. Then, my stomach started to hurt, which scared me. What should I do if the skin down there gets broken after taking emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency oral contraceptives, sometimes there may be withdrawal bleeding, which is a side effect of the medication known as "withdrawal bleeding." It generally does not decrease below the normal menstrual flow and lasts no more than one week. If it falls outside this range, it is necessary to have a thorough examination and continue medication. In the future, it is best to avoid taking emergency oral contraceptives as much as possible, as they can easily lead to menstrual irregularities. The best method of contraception is to use condoms consistently throughout the entire period.
