What Causes Irregular Menstrual Bleeding After Taking Emergency Contraceptive Pills?

emergency pill cause hormonal imbalance
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion emergency contraception pill is a high dose of progesterone.
It is to be used in case of emergency situations but not for frequent usage.
The pill cause hormonal imbalance leading to irregular bleeding and it becomes uncontrolled sometimes.
So I suggest you to restrict it to very emergency times and avoid frequent use.
The irregular bleeding in your case is due to hormonal imbalance in the body.
I suggest you to consult doctor as you might need a course of combined hormonal pills for regularization of cycles.
Hope this satisfies your query.

Anyway, is the problem serious? I am a little worried. Does it cause a permanent (or long term) damage in any part of my health? Ovary?
gynaecologist consultation is needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion it is not serious for now but it might cause complications like severe bleeding which might not get controlled by medicines if the frequent usage continues that is why I am informing you in advance.
So do not worry yes you need to consult gynaecologist.
The emergency pill will not damage ovary or any part of the body.But it changes the hormonal milieu in the body leading to problems like irregular bleeding.
So relax.Practice safe sex with condom.
Hope this satisfies your query.

Will there be any problem if I don't consult doctor now (or this week)? Is consulting doctor strictly required in my problem?
Will this irregular bleeding stop anyway after sometime without consultation of doctor? (provided I don't take the emergency contraceptive pills anymore)
Because, to be XXXXXXX meeting doctor is not easy currently in my situation. It is a personal problem. However, if you think it is strictly required, then I'll have to try to put my personal problems aside and consult doctor.
Thank you very much for your help.
Continuous irregular bleeding leads to anaemia
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion irregular bleeding continuously leads to anaemia.
Anaemia leads to clinical symptoms like weakness,tiredness,fatiguebility etc.
If you cannot make it now you can wait and check for the bleeding.
It might stop spontaneously but might take time.
If bleeding increases then consult doctor.
