Does emergency contraception always cause bleeding?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I took emergency contraception a few days ago, and I have been bleeding since. Do you always bleed after taking emergency contraception?

Doctor's answer:

Many women may experience withdrawal bleeding again after taking emergency contraception, but not everyone will have this reaction. Whether or not withdrawal bleeding occurs again can be normal. During the bleeding period, it is important to maintain hygiene and prevent infection. Avoid spicy foods. Pay close attention— if the bleeding is heavy or prolonged, seek medical attention for follow-up treatment and take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
