Taking Pill Instead Of The Advised Break. Had Brown Discharge. Dead Blood From Period?
Question: I carried on taking my pill this month instead of having a break- however I had brown discharge today is this dead blood from the period didnt have? I'm 1/4 through my new pack.
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Mild amount of brownish or bloody discharge on taking birth control pills continuously is a normal finding. Not giving a pill free period between two packs causes a mild intermittent bleeding which will stop on its own in next 3-4 days without any treatment.
You can continue taking the pills as usual.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
