Patient's question:
Yesterday after having sex with my boyfriend, I took emergency contraception orally. After that, my vagina started to show signs of peeling, with only a small amount of bleeding, and later it stopped bleeding again. Now I'm quite worried, unsure if it's related to taking the emergency contraception, and I'm too afraid to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Does taking emergency contraception have side effects?Doctor's answer:
Oral emergency contraception is very harmful to a woman's body and can also cause side effects. It can easily lead to menstrual disorders, menstrual irregularities, and endocrine disorders. This situation is likely caused by taking oral emergency contraception. Generally, it does not require a hospital visit. As long as you avoid taking oral emergency contraception in the future and properly arrange your daily routine, it will gradually improve.
