What should I do if I bleed after taking emergency contraceptive pills?

For many couples, emergency contraceptive pills are now a very common method of contraception that people often take. It can effectively prevent people from accepting the combination of sperm and egg, thereby achieving the purpose of not getting pregnant. However, contraceptives have certain side effects on the human body. Regular use of contraceptives can cause relatively great harm to women's bodies, and some women may even experience bleeding. So what causes bleeding after taking emergency contraceptive pills?

Emergency contraceptive pills can delay the next menstruation due to their effects on inhibiting and delaying ovulation and suppressing the endometrium. They may also cause a temporary increase in blood hormone levels due to temporary medication, followed by withdrawal bleeding after a decrease, which manifests as early menstruation. The effects on menstruation will vary for women of childbearing age who take emergency contraceptive pills at different times of the menstrual cycle.

If taken in the first half of the menstrual cycle, it may interfere with women's menstruation and cause vaginal bleeding; if taken in the second half of the menstrual cycle, it will interfere less with women's menstruation. If the amount of bleeding is similar to normal menstrual flow, it can be treated as a menstrual period. Conventional contraceptive methods should be adopted immediately after the bleeding stops. If the amount of bleeding is small, no treatment is needed, but you still need to pay attention to contraception until the next menstruation. The success rate of long-acting contraceptive pills is 98%. You need to strictly eliminate contraindications to taking the pills and go to the hospital for regular checkups during medication.

When you start taking levonorgestrel ethinyl estradiol tablets or combined ethinyl estradiol long-acting contraceptive tablets, you can take 1 tablet each on the 5th and 25th days of menstruation. Thereafter, you can take 1 tablet on the 25th day of menstruation every month.

There are many steps in conception, and contraceptive pills set up barriers in these steps to achieve the contraceptive effect. Either it inhibits ovulation, preventing sperm from meeting the egg, or it changes the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to penetrate, or it slows down the activity of the fallopian tubes, hindering the movement of the fertilized egg, or it changes the endometrium, preventing the fertilized egg from implanting.

The above is a detailed explanation of some relevant content about contraceptives. Since emergency contraceptives have side effects, it is recommended not to take them more than three times a year. Be careful in the future and try not to take them. Pay attention to taking contraceptive measures. I hope that the majority of female friends will take safety measures beforehand.
