My partner is weak after withdrawal bleeding. How to improve her health?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My partner and I had sex nine days ago. The condom slipped, but its opening was outside and I removed it carefully. But, just to be sure, she had Unwanted-72 immediately after. Today, she had period-like bleeding. Is it a side effect of Unwanted-72 or was it something else?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This could be because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. It is a withdrawal bleeding and there is nothing to worry about. So, relax and do not worry. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me. Take care.

Thank you doctor,
Can you suggest some precautions to take while having sex so that immature accidents like these do not happen and we can enjoy our moment in a relaxed manner? It was my carelessness that I did not wear it properly. I do not want to put her at a risk of unwanted pregnancy or put her health on the line by using these emergency contraceptives.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
You have many contraceptive options like condoms, 21-days birth control pills, intrauterine devices or depot injections which are to be taken every three months. Please meet your gynecologist and have a detailed discussion on the various options and select the one which suits you and your partner best.
Take care.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thanks again.
Can you to tell me more about this bleeding, if it will continue for a few days, when her next period will come by, and what are the parameters on which I need to keep a check on so that I make sure that she is fine and healthy?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Her bleeding will continue for four to five days and will settle down after that. She will get her periods next month. There is nothing to worry about. She will be fine. You need not worry. Just give her healthy and iron-rich foods like green leafy vegetables and fruits, dates, dry fruits and peanuts. She will be fine.
However, if you have a doubt then get back to me. Take care.

Hi doctor,
I just wanted to update you. It has been around nine days since my partner started having a bleeding because of Unwanted-72. She had this pill on 3rd of this month. She started very light bleeding around the 12th. It was very light bleeding for the first three to four days. Then after that it is even milder. Please help and suggest something.

There is nothing to worry about. This is because of hormonal changes due to the pill you have taken. So, relax and do not worry. However, if you have a doubt then get a pelvic scan done to rule out the exact cause. Do get back to me with reports so that I can guide you further.
Take care.

Thank you doctor,
If this is due to hormonal changes only, then when do you think the bleeding will stop? By when will she get her normal periods?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The bleeding should settle down in four to five days. But, if it continues to be the same, then please get her checked by a gynecologist and get a pelvic scan done to rule out the exact cause. Do get back to me with reports so that I can guide you further.
Take care.
