Doctors’ responses

Dr. Shayeque Reza
I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Monitor the bleeding:

If it is light to moderate, it will usually stop on its own in a few days. If it is heavy (soaking >2 pads per hour, or lasting more than 7 days), consult a gynecologist.

The withdrawal bleeding you’re experiencing after taking an emergency contraceptive like Unwanted-72 is a known effect and can vary in intensity among individuals. These pills contain a high dose of hormones that can lead to changes in menstrual bleeding, sometimes causing heavier or lighter flow than usual. The brown color you’re noticing is often just older blood being expelled, but it’s usually not something to be worried about. Your bleeding patterns might differ from a natural period cycle, not being constant and possibly having gaps between flows. If it’s not excessively heavy or accompanied by severe pain, it might just be part of how your body is reacting to the medication. Nevertheless, if you’re soaking through sanitary products rapidly (more than one every hour), experiencing any signs of orthostatic hypotension like dizziness when standing, or have severe cramps, it’s wise to contact a healthcare provider to ensure there’s no underlying issue requiring attention. For now, ensure you stay hydrated, get some rest and monitor the flow pattern. If the situation remains worrisome or worsens, don’t hesitate to seek medical consultation for a precise examination. Your cycle should normalize within a month or so, and if it doesn’t, or if this happens frequently, consider discussing alternative contraceptive methods with your doctor to find one that suits your body better.
