Patient's question:
I took emergency contraception on the seventh day and started bleeding below. It has been eight days of bleeding now, and the color is dark. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent withdrawal bleeding after taking emergency contraception is very common and normal, indicating that breastfeeding has been successful for a longer duration. It is generally considered equivalent to a menstrual period. However, the bleeding duration should not be less than seven days. If bleeding persists and the amount is significant, it is necessary to visit a hospital for examination to determine the underlying cause. It may not be a simple case of withdrawal bleeding.
