What Causes Excess Gas,stomach Cramps And Back After Taking Contraceptive Pills?
Hi, I took the emergency contraceptive pill a week ago saturday and suffered no symptoms until yesterday. I have been very gassy and have weird pains in my stomach maybe light cramps and a little bit a back ache now and again. Also yesterday I started bleeding as if my period has started. I am really worried as I don t know if this is normal!?
Emergency contraceptive pills contain some Progestational preparations. They are known to cause nausea, vomiting, acidity like gastro-intestinal disturbances. They are causing gases, pain in abdomen, etc.. Some proton pump inhibitor antacid like will help you control these symptoms. You may try Pantoprazole daily for about a week or so.
Being Progestational medicine, few days after consuming the pills, some amount of bleeding is known. It usually lasts for about a day or so and then stops by itself. It is not an issue of concern.
I hope this helps you.
