Patient's question:
Currently, if you don't want to have a baby, you can take medication. You want to consult if the skin peeling after taking birth control pills means pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception pills, due to the high hormone content in them, hormone withdrawal bleeding may occur 3-7 days after stopping the medication. Sometimes it may resemble a menstrual period, which can be considered the start of a new menstrual cycle. Therefore, the spotting after taking the medication is a drug reaction and does not indicate pregnancy. Emergency contraception pills are a medication with many side effects, and it is recommended not to take more than three times a year or more than twice a month.
