What Causes Vaginal Bleeding After Taking Unwanted 72?

default
Posted on Fri, 11 Jul 2014
Question: hello doc
i and my GF(15 years old) were fooling around and we indulged in dry sex right next day after her periods get over(i.e. 12 XXXXXXX 2014) which were started on 8th XXXXXXX 2014.while completing the act,i ejaculated in my nickers but there was some dampness on her shorts,she was not wearing her panties though, later she showed to me the spot of dampness on her shorts but it was dry,we both are scared as that dampness may have penetrated her shorts and the sperms enter into her vagina and could make her pregnant.so, she took unwanted 72 after about 3 hours as the emergency contraceptive.today she got bleeding(i.e. 19th XXXXXXX 2014).what could be the reason for this? and can she be pregnant ?would the bleeding be stopped automatically? please reply soon!

Brief Answer:
Bleeding because of taking Unwanted 72

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
If she has taken Unwanted 72 3 hours then there is no risk for pregnancy. The bleeding is because the emergency pill contains a very high dose of hormones and this can cause such bleeding. She may also have irregular prriods for next two cycles because the hormones may not be in balance.

This bleeding usually stops in 2 to 3 days. If she is having excessive bleeding which is more than even a usual period then she must consult a gynecologist.

Hope your query is answered.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in with an update.

Please be informed that age for consensual sex in XXXXXXX is 18 years for boys and girls and it should not happen that tomorrow you may be in trouble for being in a relationship with a 15 year old girl. Sex is a responsible action and both of you must understand the importance of relationships.

Dry sex is completely harmless considering both or at least one partner is clothed. The problem is when due to sexual excitement during dry sex the couple end up in penetrative sex. Also another problem is when there is mutual masturbation followed by self masturbation by the girl and this can increase chance of deposition of sperms near the vagina leading to pregnancy.

The safest way is to have a condom even when mutually masturbating and this also prevents sexually transmitted diseases.

Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Bleeding can occur even in non pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in with an update.

Yes bleeding after taking ipill can occur in any woman including non pregnant.

The abdominal pain and foul smell emanating from blood is known to occur in women after taking ipill. Do not worry as it will stop on its own. If the abdominal pain and discharge continue for more than a week then she must consult a gynecologist to rule out an infection or a gynecological problem.

Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Bleeding should end by 5 days

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in with an update.

The bleeding may occur from 3 to 5 days and that is why I asked you to wait for a week if she still doesnt stop bleeding. The medications usually given to stop such abnormal bleeding (breakthrough bleeding) is Tranexamic Acid 500mg tablets. Tranexamic Acid helps to promote blood clotting. It works by preventing the body from breaking down bloodclots. It is used in situations where there is or could be excessive bleeding. Recommended dosage is 2 tablets 3 times daily as long as needed for maximum up to 4 days. Please take it under supervision of a doctor and duration of medication should not be more than 4 days. If bleeding still doesnt stop then consult gynecologist immediately.

Hope your query is answered.
