Anyone, even the most reliable and expensive contraceptive does not protect against unnecessary pregnancy by 100%.And if there is a suspicion of its occurrence, "Postinor" will come to the rescue. The remedy is allowed to use no more than once in 3 months. But even with proper application, the reproductive system can work quite differently than before taking the tablets. One of the signs of this is the brown discharge that appeared after postinor. Is this a common occurrence, or is it worth asking a doctor about it?
When can I use postinor
Emergency contraception and is called that because it is able to actany day of the menstrual cycle."Postinor" is a derivative of progesterone - levonorgestrel. The substance is incorporated into the drug in high concentration, therefore it stimulates one of the following possibilities:
- inhibition of egg maturation;
- thinning of the endometrium to minimize the possibility of implanting a fetal egg;
- prevents the penetration of sperm into the uterus.
All postinor properties provide its ability to prevent unwanted pregnancy from developing, if its probability is high, but has not yet been realized. That is, use the remedy makes sense no later than 72 hours after a dangerous sexual intercourse in this sense. It is equally effective at the stage before the egg ripens, on the day of its release and even after ovulation.
Causes of the appearance of discharge with blood after the postinor
Because the drug "Postinor" contains a high dose of hormones, its effect on the body is very sharp. Actually, this ensures the effectiveness of the tool.
After all, to prevent pregnancy and can hormonal failure, created by its reception artificially. It is expressed by the usual sign: brown discharge after taking postinor is detected on the 5th - 6th day. This indicates that the drug has done its job, and unnecessary pregnancy can not be feared. The normal reaction of the reproductive system lasts 3 to 5 days.
Explanation of the allocation, similar in appearance to the monthly, in that the postinor creates in the body a situation that exists in critical days. After all, the second phase of the cycle just before menstruation is administered by gestagens. Levonorgestrel, present in tablets, is one of them. It also causes a detachment of the uterine mucosa outside the schedule.
Because the change in the balance of hormones is sharp and sudden, along with secretions, other phenomena can also appear:
- weakness,
- nausea,
- breast engorgement.
Mucus with blood is sometimes seen as an adverse manifestation of postinor. If it is seen for more than a few days, accompanied by a decline in strength, this is unpleasant, but not dangerous. Similar happens in 10% of women who used contraceptives.
Undesirable causes of excretions due to the drug Postinor
The spotting that appears after postinor may also indicate its excessive influence. There is not one option.
| Causes of excretions | Explanation |
| Overdose | Tablets are taken in a clear pattern and not more than 2 pieces. The difference in usage time should be at least half a day. Sometimes a woman is waiting for an instant effect, and because of fear of pregnancy exceeds the dose. So she arranges a hormonal catastrophe in her body, capable of ending with bleeding. |
| Another violation of the reception | The drug "Postinor" has a number of contraindications, among them: severe hepatic insufficiency, lactation, established hormonal difficulties. The agent provokes an increase in this type of disorders and discharge. Increase the volume of the last drugs prescribed for epilepsy, antibacterial agents. |
| Ectopic pregnancy | This development of events against the background of taking postinor is also possible. It helps to prevent pregnancy in almost 90% of cases, but there is another 10%.In them, the postinor leads to the impossibility of implanting the embryo in the uterus, but can not prevent it from gaining a foothold outside its cavity. In this case, the allocation will be meager, painful, with a general malaise. It is more likely that such a variant, when a woman drinks a pill, misses the deadline. |
| Strong hormonal failure | Use of the drug "Postinor" becomes stressful for the body, it can not always recover from without intervention. More chances for a similar occurrence in a girl who has recently learned what menstruation is. A similar reaction is found in a woman in premenopause. At each of them the balance of substances and without postinor is unstable. A hormonal disorder can also occur with a single use of the contraceptive, but is more likely if emergency protection is treated as normal. The body should not receive Postinor more than once every 3 to 6 months, or even less often, but not all women take the prohibition into account. As a result, they can get long-lasting discharge with blood of incomprehensible genesis. |
| Gynecological disease | The problem could exist before using this strong contraceptive and develop against the background of the admission. But the hormone preparation that is being urgently applied is capable of running the pathological process itself, although in this case the consequences will soon appear later. And in the presence of fibroids or hyperplasia of the endometrium, postinor can become the culprit of bleeding, which will have to be stopped by other medications. |
| Pregnancy | Levonorgestrel should not enter the body if it already is. But sometimes a woman does not suspect that this happened before, and drinks postinor because of the sexual act that took place after conception. Or does it in the calculation that the medicine will expel already implanted in the uterus fruit. Then at first there may be a lack of discharge in the first week after taking the postinor, followed by bleeding, or scare a long incessant smear. The woman's state of health will deteriorate sharply, as abortion is unlikely to be complete. It is necessary to do a curettage and drink antibiotics. |
Do I need to go to the doctor
