Patient's question:
Last Friday, my husband and I had sex, and he accidentally came inside. I don't want to have a child now, so the next day, I bought emergency contraception. It's been three days since then, and my vagina has been peeling. What could be the reason for this? It's necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up.Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that this situation may be a withdrawal bleeding that reappears after taking emergency contraception. This is a relatively common phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. You should pay attention to local hygiene to avoid infection. Of course, if the bleeding is heavy or lasts for a long time (less than a week), you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination and receive symptomatic treatment with appropriate oral medication.
