I have abdominal pain after taking birth control pills

Birth control pills are a must-have for many young couples today. They can effectively prevent pregnancy and avoid the trouble of wearing condoms. Therefore, birth control pills are very popular in normal times. However, some people may experience some changes in their bodies after taking birth control pills, such as affected menstruation, frequent nausea, dizziness, and lower abdominal pain.

(1) Emergency contraceptive pills can only provide contraceptive effects after the previous sexual intercourse. After taking the pills, you should not have unprotected sexual intercourse again.

(2) A small amount of vaginal bleeding after taking the medicine is not a sign of successful contraception. If there is no menstrual-like bleeding, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

(3) If vomiting occurs within 1 hour after taking the medicine, take another dose as soon as possible.

(4) Emergency contraceptive pills can only be used occasionally and cannot replace conventional contraceptive methods.

(5) Pregnant women are prohibited from using emergency contraceptive pills because they have no abortion effect on an established pregnancy.

(6) The sooner the medication is taken after unprotected sex, the better the effect of preventing unwanted pregnancy.
