What Causes Vaginal Bleeding And Severe Itchiness After Taking Postinor 2?
hello please my girlfriend is experiencing a vaginal bleeding a week after a week of using postinor 2 and serious itching, what can be the cause of that?,we had unprotected sex on the last day of her menstural cycle and she took postinor 2 the next day to prevent her getting pregnant.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It needs to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Following that, it will cause withdrawal bleeding in the form of periods within 3 weeks from the day of its intake, which confirms that pregnancy has not happened. Your partner has done the same and she has got bleeding after a week, which is normal and nothing to worry about. Itching sensation what she is experiencing could be due to mild infection. She can use a vaginal wash such as 'V wash' to clean the area and keep it in hygienic condition. She should avoid intercourse and wear loose undergarments to keep the area ventilated till her symptoms subside. Hope the information provided would be useful. All the best.
