Patient's question:
On April 28th, I took emergency contraception. On May 3rd, I had very little vaginal bleeding, which can be managed with a sanitary pad. Is it possible that it's my period, or could there be other reasons?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is considered to be caused by hormonal fluctuations in the body leading to the shedding and peeling of the endometrium. This is due to the hormonal level fluctuations induced by birth control pills, which in turn affect the shedding of the endometrium, resulting in peeling. It is equivalent to a menstrual period, and it should improve within a few days. It is recommended not to take emergency contraception pills anymore, and to use condoms during sexual intercourse. In addition to seeking timely medical treatment for gynecological conditions, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude in facing the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to dietary care and monitor changes in symptoms.
