What causes persistent bleeding after taking birth control pills?

Hello,

I appreciate that you have chosen icliniq.com for your medical needs.

I am here to give you the best care possible. If you have been taking the pills consistently, you have nothing to worry about; the bleeding will stop soon. Hopefully, the bleeding has reduced at least a bit over the past few days. If you find that the bleeding is heavy or gradually increasing, I suggest you take a tablet of Tranexamic acid 500 mg, three to four times a day. This medication is not a hormone; it simply reduces the severity of bleeding and, if the bleeding is minimal, it will help stop it. I suggest you do the following:

1. If you find that this issue is not improving and recurs in the next menstrual cycle as well, it would be advisable to have a pelvic scan to rule out any uterine or cervical problems such as polyps.
2. If you are sexually active, a local examination can be conducted to rule out any significant infection in the cervix and vagina.
3. A thyroid profile and serum prolactin test may also be helpful as they can affect menstrual bleeding.

You are slightly above the expected weight range of 115 to 121 pounds. In the meantime, try to reduce your weight slightly. Even the cholesterol in the body can convert into hormones and disrupt the normal hormonal balance.

Hope I have clarified your query.

Thank you.
