How can I manage my abdominal pain after taking an I-pill?

Question

Hi doctor,

I took an I-pill on the 27th hour of unprotected sex. I have been having severe abdominal pain since I took the pill. I am experiencing a little shortness of breath.

Now, I am on my period, but it was four days late. It has been 10 days since I took an I-pill. I am having unendurable pain and bleeding. I tried pregnancy detection kit and it showed negative.

What should I do?

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The fact that the menses have started after 10 days of I-pill intake ensures that there is no pregnancy. The pain and heavy bleeding are secondary to the progesterone effect of the high-dose progesterone pill, like the I-pill.

It is suggested that you should take the tablet Trapic-MF (Tranexamic acid) twice a day for the next three days. This should take care of pain and bleeding. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicine with consent. You may increase your water intake and use hot fomentation locally to reduce pain as well.

I hope this helps you.

Take care.
