Patient's question:
I had my period on February 4th, and on February 10th, after sexual intercourse, I took emergency contraception. It was my first time taking it. After that, I had my period again on February 14th, but it wasn't much, and it lasted only three days. However, since then, up to March 25th, I haven't had my period. On March 23rd, I bought a pregnancy test and took it, but it didn't show pregnancy. Also, recently, I've had a lot of leukorrhea, which is translucent, very clear and thin, and slightly sticky. Could it be that the test wasn't accurate and I'm pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency contraception pills has the effect of breastfeeding. After taking them, there may be a recurrence of increased vaginal discharge. If the discharge has an odor, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination of secretions to check for inflammation. If emergency contraception pills are taken within 24-72 hours after sexual intercourse, they can effectively prevent unintended early pregnancy. The effectiveness of emergency breastfeeding is significantly higher than that of conventional breastfeeding methods. Moreover, due to the high dosage and frequent use of emergency contraception pills, they may cause harm to the body. Repeatedly taking emergency contraception pills can lead to menstrual disorders. It is recommended to use them cautiously in the future and to take proper contraceptive measures during sexual activity. Patients with increased vaginal discharge can receive symptomatic treatment while understanding the condition.
