Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your query, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1) First of do not panic.
To ensure that bleeding or spotting is beginning of her menses , we need to keep watch on bleeding pattern in next 4 to5 days.
2) As she has got her menses in a month after taking i pill , the menstrual problem is not due to i pill for sure. As i pill will not exhibit its effect in the next menstrual cycle.But it can be due to some hormonal imbalance or PID- pelvic inflammatory disease.
3) I will suggest to get USG abdomen and pelvis done. Also, she can get a gynec check up done if USG shows signs of PID.
If needed, she will need to get prescription of broad spectrum antibiotics , vaginal tablets of antifungal and antibiotics.
4) I usually suggest my patients to observe a suitable contraceptive method so as to avoid 11 th hour need of i pill. Barrier method like condom helps to avoid unwanted pregnancy and STDs.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
