Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 34 years old this year, a female department manager in a listed company. I got married to my husband recently. A few days ago, we had sexual intercourse right after my period ended, and then I took emergency contraception. Five days later, I noticed an increase in leukorrhea. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you. An increase in leukorrhea, if there is no odor, is considered normal. It could be related to the ovulation period. Emergency contraception pills contain a high amount of hormones, which may lead to menstrual disorders. Therefore, they are not recommended for regular breastfeeding use. It is suggested to use condoms for contraception next time you have sexual intercourse. It is important to maintain external genital hygiene and change underwear frequently. Wash underwear with hot water regularly and expose them to sunlight.
