Patient's question:
Today, after having sex with my husband, I took emergency contraception. Then I noticed that my skin was broken, and I want to ask if broken skin after taking emergency contraception is menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to the situation you described, the withdrawal bleeding caused by taking emergency contraception is normal, indicating successful breastfeeding. Some people have less bleeding, while others have more. If the bleeding is more significant, it is equivalent to having a menstrual period. The next menstrual cycle should be estimated based on the timing of this bleeding. Emergency contraception should not be taken frequently, as doing so can easily lead to menstrual irregularities.
