Patient's question:
Yesterday, when I had sex with my husband, I didn't use any contraception, so after the act, I took emergency contraception. During the period after taking the pill, I started experiencing continuous bleeding between my legs. What could be the reason for this? This has never happened before. How should I deal with withdrawal bleeding?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception, some people may experience withdrawal bleeding again. This situation does not require excessive worry; it is similar to having a menstrual period. Pay attention to nursing care and hygiene, avoid drinking beer, and do not eat spicy foods like chili peppers. Prevent sexual intercourse to avoid transmission. If the bleeding is heavy and lasts for a long time, and is less than the amount of a normal menstrual period, then it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate oral medication can be taken for symptomatic treatment.
