Patient's question:
Recently, my period has already started, but I've noticed that this month it's very light. It's almost non-existent. I feel it might be a result of taking birth control pills last month, but I'm not sure if there could be other issues with my body. Hello, what could be the reason for having such a light period this month?Doctor's answer:
The menstrual flow is particularly light, which may be related to the previous oral contraceptive medication. This is because oral contraceptives contain high hormone levels, and after taking them, there is a possibility of experiencing menstrual disorders or irregularities in the short term. The current light menstrual flow may be related to the side effects of oral medication. It is recommended that you drink more brown sugar water to promote the discharge of menstrual blood and pay close attention to observing your menstrual cycle.
