Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Postinor 2 is an emergency contraceptive pill. It needs to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse as prescribed to prevent unwanted or unplanned pregnancy. The pill would offer protection by causing withdrawal bleeding within 3 weeks from the day of intake of pill.
Experiencing frequent sensation to pass stools could be due to side effect of the pill. It needs to be managed symptomatically.
Kindly increase your intake of fluids and consume diet rich in fibres. Also, it is advisable to consume soft and easily digestible diet for few more days. Once you get your periods, there symptoms should subside on its own.
In case the bleeding does not start by 3 weeks, you need to seek medical attention immediately.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
