Patient's question:
I took the birth control pill on the 24th. On the 26th, I had a little bit of skin peeling, like much less than my period. Now, whenever I lie down, I get a headache, but standing and sitting are fine. I also feel a bit nauseous. Could I be pregnant?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency oral contraceptives, withdrawal bleeding occurs 3-7 days after stopping the medication. If you do not plan to get pregnant, it is recommended to use other contraceptive methods. Emergency contraceptives should not be taken casually. Headache and nausea may be related to poor sleep or improper diet. It is advised to maintain sufficient deep sleep, eat dinner on time, and avoid overeating. Medication can be taken to alleviate the symptoms.
