What are the reasons for dark menstrual color after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I'd like to ask, I just took birth control pills, and then I also took vitamin B. These past few days, I've had my period, but it's not much, only a little brownish. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Bleeding caused by taking birth control pills is not a normal menstrual period but rather withdrawal bleeding. Since the bleeding on the 28th is not during the normal menstrual cycle and is accompanied by an odor, it indicates the presence of a genital infection. It is recommended to visit a hospital for an ultrasound examination to understand the current bleeding situation in the uterine cavity, the thickness of the endometrium, and then undergo hemostatic and anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, personal hygiene in the lower body should be strengthened, and the diet should be kept light.
