Does Intake Of Postinor 2 Cause Hypochromic Anemia And Neutrophilia?
my girlfriend and i have unprotected sex and she takes postinor 2 afterwrads. This we have been practising for about 12 months. Her latest blod tests indicates that hypochromic anaemia and mild neutrophilia . Has this been caused due to intake of postinor 2 and please give me an advise
Postinor contains levonorgestrel. It is a progestogen inhibiting the implantation of the ovum into the endometrium, it stimulates the motility of the oviduct and increases the viscosity of the cervical mucus. Postinor 2 mg is an emergency contraceptive preparation that can prevent contraception if one Postinor 2 pill is taken within 72 hours following unprotected sexual intercourse and another one 12 hours after taking the first pill. In some cases, 2-3 days following pill ingestion breakthrough bleeding or withdrawal bleeding may occur that generally ceases spontaneously.
Again, prolonged or heavy bleeding may also occur. As your girlfriend might have taken this pill every now and then, so she may suffer from chronic blood loss. For this reason, her blood picture has shown microcytic hypochromic anemia with mild neutrophilia due to blood loss with any type of infection. She should consult her doctor who will help her to find out the exact causes for the such type of blood pictures and treat them accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
