Patient's question:
Menstruation only lasted for one and a half days. Is it related to taking regular birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello:After taking birth control pills, the endometrium cannot grow normally, leading to thinning, which results in reduced menstrual bleeding. This is a normal reaction to taking the medication and has no impact on health, generally requiring no treatment. If the menstrual flow is too light, you can take 1-2 tablets of ethinyl estradiol daily while continuing to take the birth control pills.
The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a patient's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal discharge examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
