What should I do if I have continuous light bleeding after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

On November 4th, I took the birth control pill. Since November 19th, I've been experiencing brown discharge similar to my period, which has been increasing, then gradually decreasing. It has been for more than half a month now, still in a drop-like, brown form.

Doctor's answer:

After taking birth control pills, there is a small amount of bleeding. This is withdrawal bleeding, which is a side effect of birth control pills. It could be irregular vaginal bleeding caused by taking oral birth control pills. If you're not sure, you can go to a local hospital for an ultrasound to check. It is recommended to consume birth control pills as little as possible in daily life. Frequent use of birth control pills can easily lead to endocrine disorders, which is not good for health. Get more rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
