Medical Conditions - Break Through Bleeding

Breakthrough bleeding is a common condition among women taking hormonal birth control. It appears as small blood spots while not being on periods. Any type of hormonal birth control, such as birth control pills, IUDs, birth control implants, and hormonal skin patches, can cause this condition. This condition is common in women who are smokers and those who do not take the pills consistently.
