Patient's question:
After taking the birth control pill, I'm bleeding like my period, and it's been two or three days already. The blood is very dark, not the bright red color of my usual menstrual blood. What's going on? Why am I bleeding after taking birth control pills? Will this affect my health?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the breakthrough bleeding occurs after starting birth control pills, you can use estrogen preparations for topical application. If the bleeding is heavy, it is recommended to visit the hospital immediately for follow-up to rule out the possibility of endocrine system disorders or organic inflammation. First, implement topical treatment and adjust the medication based on the situation. If you are not planning to get pregnant, it is advisable to take contraceptive measures early. For this particular episode of breakthrough bleeding, it is recommended to pay attention and change underwear more frequently. Avoid taking this medication frequently.
