Can Morning After Pill Cause Urinary Urge And Malodour?
I took the morning after pill yesterday and throughout the day today have been feeling the urge to wee far more than normal. The urine has an unusual smell and it is a little uncomfortable when passing it. Can this be a side effect of the pill or is it something else and just a coincidence?

Hi,
Everyone's body can react differently to medications, so individual experiences may vary. While urinary symptoms such as increased urge to urinate and discomfort during urination are not commonly associated with the morning-after pill, it is still possible for some individuals to experience these symptoms as a side effect. If you're concerned about these symptoms, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional who can evaluate your specific situation and provide appropriate advice.
It's also worth considering other factors that could be contributing to your symptoms, such as urinary tract infection (UTI), which can cause similar symptoms like increased urgency, discomfort, and changes in urine odor. UTIs are relatively common and can occur independently of taking the morning-after pill. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

The common side effects of Levonorgestrel or Early Morning Pill are nausea, vomiting, fatigue, breast tenderness, irregular menstrual bleeding, and headache. Such side effects are temporary and get resolved without effort. If you are experiencing persistent or severe symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
