Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I had a medication abortion last month on the 6th and went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. There were some remnants, but they weren't significant. The doctor said they would gently scrape them. I was wondering if there will be bleeding after the scraping, and if so, how long will it last?Doctor's answer:
Hello, emergency contraception pills must be taken within 72 hours after intercourse to be effective in preventing pregnancy. The earlier you take them, the higher the success rate of contraception. Since you took them within 72 hours, you are generally unlikely to get pregnant and do not need to worry too much.Advice: Taking emergency contraception pills orally may affect your menstrual cycle, potentially causing it to come earlier or later.
