Had Sex. Took Birth Control Pill. Have Spotted Bleeding, Navel Pain, Headaches. Suggest A Complete Solution?
Question: i had sex six days back and i had taken unwanted-72 after one day of that.now i m having spotted bleeding,headache and navel pain daily since then.now i m feeling more hungry since then ..plz give me some proper and complete solution.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Since you took Unwanted -72 five days ago, now the irregular bleeding/ spotting that you are having is the withdrawal bleeding which happens due to the high dose of hormones in the emergency contraceptive pill.
The headache and mild pain in abdomen are also common side effects of such pills. Your routine period can also be delayed by a few days. Do not worry. This is not indicative of pregnancy.
You can only wait and watch for a few days for these symptoms to subside spontaneously. Please take simple and easy to digest foods till the pain subsides.
But I would advise you to use a surer way of contraception like oral pills as emergency pills if taken repeatedly can cause you menstrual irregularities.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
This spotting should stop in next 5-7 days. You can take a mild pain killer like paracetamol for your headache.
In case the bleeding is persistent then you may need to consult a gynecologist who will prescribe you hormonal treatment to take care of the bleeding.
Hope my answer is helpful.
