Is withdrawal bleeding and abdominal pain normal?

If you forget to take contraceptive measures during sex, but you don't plan to have a child for the time being, you need to take emergency contraceptive pills afterwards. However, withdrawal bleeding will occur after taking emergency contraceptive pills. Withdrawal bleeding is a normal phenomenon. Some people do not have any symptoms of physical discomfort during withdrawal bleeding, but some people also have abdominal pain during withdrawal bleeding. Is this normal?

Is it normal to have abdominal pain during withdrawal bleeding?

Chen Tui said that it is normal to have abdominal pain during bleeding and there is no need to worry too much, because withdrawal bleeding is similar to menstruation. Some women will have abdominal pain when they are stimulated during withdrawal bleeding due to their physical constitution. At this time, as long as they actively regulate their body, they will recover.

The withdrawal bleeding ends in a few days

Withdrawal bleeding is a symptom of bleeding caused by the rapid proliferation of the endometrium after the use of hormonal drugs, and the decrease in hormone levels after stopping the drug, which causes the endometrium to lose hormonal support. Withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 1 week after stopping the medication and lasts about 4-7 days, but some patients may experience withdrawal bleeding for a longer period of time. If the patient has been amenorrhea for a long time, the amount of withdrawal bleeding will be large. Generally, patients with less bleeding do not need special treatment, but patients with more bleeding must go to the hospital to find the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.

What to do about withdrawal bleeding

During withdrawal bleeding, just like during menstruation, you should keep warm, avoid fatigue and cold to avoid abdominal pain, and observe the amount and duration of bleeding. Specific precautions include

1. Keep warm and avoid getting wet and cold. Being in a damp and cold environment for a long time will cause excessive bleeding, prolonged bleeding, or induce other diseases.

2. Keep a calm mind and avoid depression. Reading and listening to music are good ways to adjust.

3. Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late. Be sure to rest early during your menstrual period. Adequate sleep can relieve discomfort.

4. During the bleeding period, it is very important to keep the private parts clean and hygienic. To clean the private parts, just use warm water and avoid using lotion.

5. Exercise in moderation and avoid strenuous exercise and overwork. During the bleeding period, you can study and work as usual, and you can also participate in appropriate physical exercise. However, strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor should be avoided to avoid increasing abdominal pressure and vibrating the pelvis to reduce bleeding.

6. Choose a reliable sanitary napkin to avoid allergies

7. Pay attention to food hygiene, strengthen nutrition, and eat foods that are easily digested and absorbed during bleeding. Such as eggs, lean meat, soy products, vegetables, and fruits. At the same time, you should drink more boiled water, increase the frequency of urination, and flush the urethra to prevent inflammation. Do not eat raw, cold, spicy or irritating foods to keep bowel movements smooth and reduce pelvic congestion.

8. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited to prevent infection. If the fallopian tubes become inflamed and blocked, it may cause infertility, prolonged menstrual bleeding, or even continuous bleeding.
