What Causes Spotting After Menstruation After Taking Plan-B?

Hello. About two weeks ago I had unprotected sex. I took plan B a few hours after. I got my period about 3 days to a week after. I just finished my period Tuesday. I am having brownish/ red no oder discharge starting today. Also I have a slight rash since yesterday. The rash does not itch. No burning or pain when I urinate or regularly. Never had any STDs or STIs

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Taking Plan B can cause changes in menstrual bleeding. Spotting or breakthrough bleeding can occur after taking Plan B, even if you have already had your period. The brownish/red discharge you are experiencing may be a result of the hormonal changes from taking Plan B.

Additionally, the slight rash you are experiencing may be unrelated to the use of Plan B. It is possible that it could be an allergic reaction or irritation from a product or material. If you are concerned about your symptoms, it is recommended that you speak with your healthcare provider. They can perform an examination and guide any further testing or treatment that may be necessary.

If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up. Take care. Hope I have answered your question.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
