What Causes Terrible Cramps Along With Blood Discharge After Taking Birth Control Pill?
Question: I don't normally get my period My tubes are tied and I take my pill 30 days out of the month because I have terrible cramps which was suggested by my OB/GYN. But now I have brown nasty blood clots in very bad cramping since I've started prednisone and an antibiotic because I had laryngitis I'm a little scared and I don't know if it's because of the medication or something else is wrong and I'm also on Cymbalta for my fibromyalgia
Brief Answer:
it might be drug interaction
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion there are different possibilities for your condition.
1)It might be a drug interaction.Certain antibiotics and other medicines might interfere with pill metabolism leading to alteration of pill level in body.So there might be bleeding due to hormonal imbalance.
Mostly this might be the possibility as it started after taking medicine for laryngitis.
2)Prednisolone might have sideeffect like irregular bleeding.
3)Pill itself has sideeffect like irregular bleeding.
So I would suggest you to consult doctor and rule out the cause.You might need to change the medication and also need to control bleeding.
Nothing to worry.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.
