Does Intake Of Contraceptive Pill Cause Prolonged Bleeding?
I last had my period on july 8 and it ended the 14th i had unprotected sex the 16th in the night and i took postinor pill on the 18th which i took the two pills at once, and i got my next period on the 25th and its now aug 1 and im still bleeding . I am scared that something is seriously wrong with me :(
Postinor may cause patients to have irregular bleeding and heavy bleeding as well, so the symptoms you are having may be related to its use. On the other hand, if the bleeding is much more than normal bleeding and lasts more than a week, you may need to see your doctor make sure you are not developing anemia. Any delay of your periods beyond your due date warrants a urinary pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
