General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Changes in the menstruation could happen after taking any emergency contraceptive pill like Plan B.
What problems you are facing of heavy bleeding should ideally subside in 3 to 5 days and your next cycle should be normal.
However, if it continues, you need to consult Gynecologist and get examined to rule out dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In case it is present, it needs to be managed accordingly.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
