Does I pill cause bleeding and increased urinary frequency?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I took taken I-pill on the seventh day of my period after unprotected intercourse, and the bleeding has not stopped yet. Initially, it was paining, but now it is only bleeding. My urge to go to the washroom has increased, and five to six drops of blood come during urination. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I have gone through your history, and it looks like you are having a UTI (urinary tract infection). I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.

  1. Antibiotics help in clearing the infection and It is essential to take the full course of antibiotics as prescribed, even if your symptoms improve.
  2. Get a urine routine and culture and ultrasound abdomen done to prescribe the right antibiotics.
  3. Pain relievers such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen can help alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation.
  4. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can help flush out bacteria from your urinary system.
  5. Avoid caffeinated beverages, alcohol, and spicy foods that may irritate the bladder.
  6. Try to empty your bladder frequently to help prevent the build-up of bacteria in the urinary tract.
  7. Applying a warm compress to your lower abdomen may provide some relief from discomfort.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medications with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
