Hello,
With the question “What's wrong with nausea after taking emergency contraceptive pills? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Emergency contraception is a method of using hormones or drugs to prevent pregnancy. For the most part, these hormones are the same as those found in regular birth control pills. The drug works mainly by delaying the release of an egg or ovulation.
Common side effects of emergency contraceptive pills: Abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, menstrual changes, dizziness,...
50% of women after taking emergency contraception have nausea and vomiting. Others have abdominal pain, flatulence,... If you vomit right after taking the medicine, you need to take another dose instead. If vomiting occurs 2 hours after taking the medicine, no need to take another dose. The solution to overcome the symptoms of nausea is to take the drug with food or before going to bed; It is also possible that your partner has been pregnant before or because of a gastrointestinal disease such as gastroesophageal reflux syndrome. You should take your lover to see an obstetrician and gynecologist for an accurate diagnosis.
If you still have questions about nausea after taking emergency contraceptive pills, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
