Patient's question:
After taking birth control pills for five days, my period came. What's wrong?Doctor's answer:
After taking birth control pills for several days, many women may experience vaginal bleeding, which is called withdrawal bleeding. This is a common side effect of these types of birth control pills. Currently, having menstrual-like bleeding is not a problem. In the future, it is best to avoid using this medication for contraception as much as possible. It should only be used as a backup method and should be taken as infrequently as possible. In fact, in general, practicing any form of contraception can have certain risks for women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to health care and maintenance. Women using contraception should take care of themselves, such as paying attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold drinks.
