What is the matter with stomach pain after taking emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

What's going on when your stomach hurts after taking emergency contraception? Could it be an allergy to the birth control pill?

Doctor's answer:

This should be a side effect of the contraceptive medication causing abdominal pain. There may also be withdrawal bleeding around 1 week. It is recommended to pay close attention to rest and observe carefully for a few days. However, during these days, it is advisable to eat more vegetables and fruits to nourish the body. After a few days, it is best to go to the hospital to check the blood hCG. Generally, if pregnancy occurs unexpectedly after medication, it is unlikely, but it is still important to take precautions.
