General Surgeon 's  Response
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.
I find this answer helpful
