Can Emergency Contraceptives Cause Excess Bleeding And Changes In Menstruation Cycle?
Hey,My name is Ann. I bled for one day then it stopped. After two days,i had my periods. i have been bleeding for 6 days now. its unlikely because i usually bleed for five days only. The flow is light but dark in color . I took emergency contraceptives last month. Could this be the one that is causing the change in my cycle. Please help
Hello dear Understand your concern Yes emergency contraception cause excess bleeding and change in menstrual cycle. Emergency contraception contain high progesterone level that produce hormonal imbalance lead to disruption of menstrual cycle. Bleeding for one day due to progesterone withdrawal bleeding and it is common side effects. And it also cause prolongation and excessive bleeding due to high progesterone. So do not worry, it is common after ECP. If do not stops consult the gynecologist get examined and take trenexaemic acid to stop the bleeding. So be calm, it is just side effects of emergency contraceptive pills. Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
