Unexpected Bleeding? Talk to a Doctor Today!
Patient Query
Hello Doctor,
I took Plan B a few days ago, and now I'm bleeding even though it's not time for my period. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Bleeding after Plan B is a common side effect due to hormonal changes. It usually resolves on its own. However, if it's heavy, prolonged, or accompanied by pain or unusual discharge, it could indicate an infection. A check-up is recommended to rule out infections or cervical issues. A Pap smear may be advised after evaluation. Seek medical help if symptoms persist.
Thanks
