Patient's question:
What should I do if the menstrual period is extended for a long time during the menstrual period while taking birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
If you take birth control medication during your menstrual period, it may lead to prolonged menstruation. If vaginal bleeding during menstruation lasts less than a week, it is considered prolonged menstruation. Prolonged vaginal bleeding can cause physical weakness and even iron deficiency anemia. It is essential to seek timely symptomatic treatment and undergo a check-up for possible functional uterine bleeding. Hormonal medication or uterine scraping treatment can be administered. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
