Question
has there been any problems reported with the morning after pill? I took it and two days later I started hurting really bad in my abdomen and pelvic region and my sides. The pain kept getting worse and I was finally able to see doctors they said I had endometriosis, a hernia, GERD, etc. Can the morning after pill cause endometriosis , or a hernia? Can it make any of those health problems way worse if you take it. I am sccared to ever take that pill again. I really think it messed me up somehow. i had called the morning after pill number several times when i kept having problems. They really werent helpful and said nothing had been reported like i was talking about but that they didnt really know for sure.can it cause endometriosis and complications

Answer
Hi Dear Dusty,
A morning after pill cannot be held responsable for the symptoms you mention.
These symptoms are unknown to the producers and medical practitioners.
An endometriosis can be very disturbing and painful. Go to see an OBGYN doc to
get it treated.
Good luck,
Dr Shan
