Patient's question:
On June 14th, after my period ended, on the morning of June 18th, I had sex without any contraception. That evening on June 18th, I took emergency contraception. On the evening of June 22nd, I experienced vaginal bleeding that was about the same amount as my period. I don't know what could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Bleeding from the vagina during medication is a side effect of short-term oral contraceptives. This is because of the contraceptive pills you are taking, which have caused endocrine disorders. Occasional or infrequent use is not a major issue, but excessive use of these pills can interfere with fertility. It is recommended that you do not rely on these contraceptives long-term. For severe gynecological conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid switching to new medications without consulting a doctor, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
