Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello good day i had unprotected sex sometime in august and took postinor 2 , 2 days after now its september and i am still bleeding the bleeding isnt continuos Sometimes 5 days straight and then by that time i am bleeding again even now and it started from last thursday and usually i have my period for just 5 days
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I have read your description and understand your concern. Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It prevents unwanted pregnancy by causing breakthrough bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of its intake. If you had periods within 3 weeks from its intake, it says you are not pregnant. What problem you are facing now is early periods, which could have been caused due to hormonal imbalance. This can happen sometime following emergency contraceptive pill intake and should regularize by 3 months. In case this problem continues, you need to get evaluated for the cause and treated accordingly by consulting Gynecologist. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
