What Causes Pain In The Lower Abdomen After Taking Postinor 2?
Hi! I had sex on a Friday and took postinor2 after an hour that same day and the next day I started to have lower abdominal pain today is the 5th day its very severe I can t sleep at night. Please what can I take to stop the pain and for my system to be normal? Tanks
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. Postinor 2 is a morning after emergency contraceptive pill, each of the two tablets contains 750 micrograms of levonorgestrel . This is high dose of a hormone and hence can cause nausea, stomach ache and any other complications. Since you have pain in lower abdomen for the last 5 days, it is also very important to know the exact cause and thus I would advise you the following: Get a clinical evaluation and examination done by a General Surgeon preferably. Ultrasonography of the abdomen and tests of blood, stool and urine. All these will give you the proper cause of pain and thus help to have a proper management. Till then you can take an antispasmodic and thus relieve pain in lower abdomen.
