Hello

Thanks for the query

I understand that you have taken unwanted 72 within 5 hours. Irregular period and pain is a known side effect of unwated 72. Bleeding can be either heavy or heavy followed by light bleeding. It happens because of the hormones present in the tablet.

White discharge might indicate infection, I recommend treatment with antibiotic like Levoflox for 5 days.

She is not pregnant as she has had her period and urine pregnancy test is also negative.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

The white coloured period like flow is known as white discharge. It can happen when there is infection of the vagina. It is usually treated with antibiotics which I have recommended earlier.

Please approach a gynaecologist if it persists beyond a week.
