Patient's question:
After taking birth control pills, suddenly noticed skin peeling when using the toilet. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Emergency breastfeeding is different from regular breastfeeding. Emergency breastfeeding induces withdrawal bleeding due to high-dose progesterone. After using emergency contraception, it may lead to endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders. Contraceptive drugs are sex hormone drugs that can cause withdrawal bleeding. You said this should be emergency contraception, and this type of medication can easily lead to endocrine disorders and withdrawal bleeding after taking it, so it is best not to take it for a long time or in large quantities. Therefore, your condition is likely caused by medication side effects. It is recommended to pay attention to local hygiene and consider seeking medical attention promptly for prolonged skin breakdown, as well as considering anti-inflammatory topical treatment.
