Is mifepristone 10mg effective as emergency contraception post-exposure?

Patient's Query

Is taking mifepristone 10 mg effective as an emergency contraceptive pill? I took it hours after having unprotected sex.

Gynecologyy

Answered by Dr. Nisarg Patel

Mifepristone is a medication that is typically not used in the 10 mg dose as an emergency contraceptive pill. It may be less beneficial than other methods such as emergency contraceptive pills containing levonorgestrel. Your preventive action is a good step. However, be aware that this may not be effective in preventing pregnancy. In case you experience any abnormal symptoms or if you suspect you are pregnant, it is recommended to visit a gynecologist.

I had unprotected sex almost immediately after my periods ended. (After 2 days). I took unwanted 72 right after the unprotected sex. Is it safe? It's been 18 days since then

Female | 21

Taking Unwanted 72 after unprotected sex can help in case of pregnancy. It might have to be mentioned that young people should take it within 72 hours. Since the usual menstruation time has passed and in the meantime, you've already got your period, the symptoms you may develop are mostly related to the bleeding. Spotting or changes in the menstrual cycle are the main issues after taking the pill.

Mera misscareg 1 month 2din ho gaya lekin abhi tak period nahi aaya hai kya kare

Female | 25

After a miscarriage, it is normal for your menstrual cycle to take some time to return to its regular pattern. The time it takes for your periods to resume can vary from person to person.

In most cases, it may take a few weeks to a couple of months for your menstrual cycle to return to normal after a miscarriage. This delay is often due to hormonal changes and the body's natural healing process.

I'm charu & I'm 20 I have problem in periods cycle last 3 months I didn't get my period and this is first time I'm suffering like this I'm so scared if anything serious on this

Female | 20

• The lack of menstruation, also known as amenorrhea, is the absence of menstrual bleeding. It occurs when a female does not get her first menstrual period by the age of 16. It can also happen when a woman does not menstruate for 3 to 6 months. Amenorrhea can occur for a variety of reasons.

• Pregnancy is the most prevalent reason.

• On the other hand, can be caused by a variety of lifestyle variables, including body weight and activity levels.

• Hormonal imbalances or difficulties with the reproductive organs may be the reason in some circumstances.

Consult a Gynecologist for complete check-up and treatment.

The first day of my last period was April 1st and my expected ovulation date was April 17th. I had sex on the 13th/14th and took plan B in the morning of the 14th; I had sex again on the 19th/20th and took plan B on the morning of the 20th and I had sex on the 28th and took the plan B immediately. I am not on any contraceptive medication and my partner pulled out before ejaculating - so he said. I washed up immediately and took the pills. My period is late now and I don’t want to be pregnant. I have take about 6 pregnancy test and they were all negative, not even a faint line of positive which is relieve. But my period is a day late and I’m worried. I took a test this morning and it was still negative. I feel tired, bloated, heightened smell, and I urinate frequently. What do I do?

Female | 26

These signs can mean your hormone levels changed. Stress or being anxious can also make you feel this way. It's good your pregnancy tests were negative - you're likely not pregnant. Your period may be late because of stress, life changes, or hormone shifts. Keep track of how you feel. If your period still doesn't come in a few days, see a gynecologist.

She is a 16 years girl she getting pain after fingering And Pain lasts for 10 minutes and then goes away after 1 or 2 hours Is it about to happen or has been happening since last 3 days What to do to stop this pain or how much pain will it cause?

Female | 16

One cause might be that there wasn't enough lubrication when the finger was inserted. Lack of proper lubrication can cause friction and pain. Using a water-based lubricant can help prevent this. The pain should lessen if she takes a break and lets her body rest. If the pain continues or worsens, she should contact a gynecologist.

Female | 32

It's common TO have mixed feelings AFTER an abortion.. You're not alone.. Physical recovery can take a few weeks.. TAKE it easy, avoid sex, and limit exercise.. Expect bleeding AND cramping.. IF it's severe, see a doctor.. Emotionally, it's okay TO feel sadness or relief.. TALK TO a psychiatrist.
