Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and I have been married for a short time. I feel like I'm still young, so after discussing it with my husband, we decided to postpone having children for now. That's why we have been practicing breastfeeding. However, something went wrong yesterday—after taking birth control pills, I experienced withdrawal bleeding. How should I address this situation?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception pills, there may be bleeding and then it stops, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and not a problem. There is no need to be anxious or worried about it. If the bleeding lasts for a long time, it can be considered as one menstrual period. During the Spring Festival, it is essential to have safe measures to avoid accidental pregnancy, as this would be undesirable. In daily life, pay attention to ensuring adequate nutrition and avoid overexertion.
