Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I’ve been on birth control for two years and nine months, and I switched to the pill for the last three months. I have been on my period almost every day, except for three or four days in between. I don’t know what to do.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

It’s important to consult your healthcare provider regarding your prolonged bleeding while on the pill. Changes in bleeding patterns can occur when switching birth control methods. Your doctor may recommend adjusting your current pill or trying a different type of birth control. In some cases, the body may need time to adjust to the new pill. Your provider can provide guidance specific to your situation and help address any concerns you may have.

Thanks
