What is the reason for bleeding on the second day after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

After staying in the same room with my boyfriend, I took emergency contraception pills. But on the third day, when I went to the bathroom, I noticed some peeling. What could be the reason for peeling on the third day after taking emergency contraception pills?

Doctor's answer:

After taking emergency contraception pills, on the third day when I went to the bathroom, I noticed symptoms of broken skin. It might be due to the impact of sexual activity, causing damage to the vaginal mucosa and leading to the broken skin. Pay attention to hygiene in the coming days. Sometimes, there can also be broken skin during ovulation. Carefully observe how much broken skin there is. If it's significant, you may need to use hemostatic medication together. Be mindful that emergency contraception pills should not be taken less than three times within a year.
