Patient's question:
After taking the birth control pill, I'm bleeding like my period, and it's been two or three days. The blood is very dark, not the bright red of a normal menstrual period. What's going on? Why am I bleeding after taking the birth control pill? Will this affect my body?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the breakthrough bleeding occurs after starting to take birth control pills, you can use estrogen preparations for topical application. If the bleeding is heavy, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately to rule out the possibility of endocrine system disorders or organic inflammation. First, topical treatment should be implemented, and medication should be adjusted according to the condition. If there is no intention to conceive, it is advisable to take contraceptive measures early. For this period of breakthrough bleeding, it is recommended to pay attention to changing underwear and innerwear frequently. Avoid taking this medication too often.
