Does emergency contraception always cause bleeding?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I took emergency contraception a few days ago, and I have been bleeding since. Do you always bleed after taking emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

Many women may experience withdrawal bleeding again after taking emergency contraception, but not everyone who takes it will have this symptom. Whether or not withdrawal bleeding occurs again can be normal. During the bleeding period, pay attention to hygiene to prevent infection and avoid eating foods. Observe carefully; if the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, seek medical advice and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
