Can Morning After Pill Cause Painful Urination?
Hello, a few days ago I had sex with my boyfriend, and our condom broke. So we went out and got the morning after pill as a safety precaution. I took it. I experienced diarrhea, light headedness, and some cramping. But after an hour it went away. today, I wake up and go to the bathroom. I was urinating and I experienced pain during the end stage of urinating. Should I be worried that I got an infection?? Or is this a normal side effect of the pill???

Hi!
Pain during urination is not a side effect of the use of I-pill but a sign of urinary infection or cystitis.
Until you will do a urinalysis to confirm /exclude infection you can try cranberry tea ,2 to 3 liters per day and Sitz baths .
