Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend yesterday, but he didn't wear a condom at the time. I only found out about it afterward. I'm very worried that I might get pregnant, so I quickly went to a pharmacy to buy and take emergency contraception. But what is the rash after taking the emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptive drugs are a type of hormone-based medication, most of which are estrogen-progestogen drugs. Taking these drugs orally can lead to side effects, and the main side effects are typically withdrawal bleeding. After you take contraceptive pills and experience bleeding again, it is likely a symptom of withdrawal bleeding, which is a side effect of the medication and does not require treatment. You can carefully monitor the situation. If the bleeding is more significant, it can be considered equivalent to a menstrual period, and the next period will be based on this as a reference.
