Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Just now after I finished urinating, I noticed 2 drops of black liquid coming from my vagina. When I wiped it with paper, it was slightly crimson but mostly black. I didn't feel any abdominal pain. My last menstrual period was on the 20th of this month, and I took 2 pills of Marvelon birth control on the 22nd. After that, I didn't take any more. Is it possible that not continuing the medication caused this issue?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal bleeding after taking emergency contraception, the main impact of emergency contraception on menstruation is manifested in changes to the menstrual cycle, which may be advanced or delayed. Particularly for repeated users, it can lead to menstrual disorders and continuous vaginal bleeding. It is recommended that emergency contraception not be taken more than once a month and no more than three times a year. Taking emergency contraception multiple times in a short period can lead to menstrual disorders, ectopic pregnancy, and contraceptive failure, among other issues.
