What should I do if my menstrual flow is less after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

I was sad about getting pregnant, so I took many birth control pills. I didn't expect my menstrual period to become lighter. What should I do after taking birth control pills if my menstrual flow is reduced?

Doctor's answer:

Contraceptives should not be taken frequently; you can only take them two or three times a year, with long intervals between them. If you take contraceptives frequently, it can easily lead to abnormal hormone excretion, resulting in irregular periods and a decrease in menstrual flow. There is no other solution except to gradually restore your condition through proper care. During this time, I recommend that you avoid taking contraceptives and focus on gradual recovery. Wishing the patient a speedy return to good health!
