Patient's question:
I started taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets for breastfeeding last month. Shortly after stopping the medication, my period arrived, but the flow was very light. Is it normal to have a light period after finishing taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets?Doctor's answer:
Young women, if vaginal minimal peeling reappears after taking oral contraceptives, it can be considered a normal physiological phenomenon. Oral contraceptives can cause the endometrium to thicken, leading to changes in hormone levels in the body, which may have some effects similar to breastfeeding. After stopping the medication, drug withdrawal-related peeling may occur again. Therefore, the current peeling should be related to the discontinuation of oral contraceptives. You should first carefully observe your menstrual cycle to see that the problem should not be serious.
