Does Plan B Cause Frequent Urination And Tender Breasts?
I recently just had unprotected sex and I took plan B three days after. I ve been peeing a lot and I ve been unusually hungry and my stomach growls every hour. My breats are a little tender. My health teacher said that could be some side affects of it. But I haven t been cramping and I m supposed to get my period tomorrow are those signs of the pill?

Hallow Dear,
Plan B pills contain Progestational medicine. Progesterone is known to cause smooth muscles relaxation. This may lead to relaxation of urinary tube resulting in frequent urination, relaxation of intestines leading to bloating, flatulence and constipation. Progesterone does cause engorgement and tenderness of breasts.
Moreover, these pills has following after effects for which you need not be worried:
1. Few days after the pills, some amount of bleeding for a couple of days.
2. Following immediate periods may get delayed by few days to a week or so.
I hope this provides you the required information.
