Patient's question:
Hello, the same as below. After having sex and taking emergency contraception, I started bleeding after only two days. What could be the reason? My last period was on August 5th. On August 20th, after having sex, I took emergency contraception, and within two days, I started bleeding. But this is many days before my period is supposed to come. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
After cohabitation, I took emergency contraception pills, and after a couple of days, I started bleeding. It's been many days since the expected menstrual period, so it's likely not my period but rather withdrawal bleeding caused by the emergency contraception pills. This is also a side effect of the pills. Emergency contraception pills can cause irregular vaginal bleeding as a side effect. If the bleeding persists for less than a week and doesn't stop, you can take oral hemostatic medication. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
