Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife and I just got married and don't want children yet. This is our first time, and the first time we had sex, the condom broke. We quickly bought some birth control pills and took them. Three days later, we couldn't resist and had sex again. This time the condom didn't break, but since then, my wife has been experiencing slight bleeding. Is there a serious problem? Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the vaginal bleeding that your wife is experiencing again after taking emergency contraception should be related to the medication. This drug is a high-dose progesterone, and taking it can lead to withdrawal bleeding, as well as menstrual irregularities such as early or delayed periods and amenorrhea. Since you do not have children, it is not recommended to take this medication. If you do not want to have a baby, you can use condoms or practice breastfeeding during the safe period.
