Have Dark Brown Discharge, After Periods, Taking Yaz. Medicine Side Effect, Continue Pill?
Hi Samuel,
I have been on Yaz (the pill) for a month and a half - I have had my menstrual cycle a week and a half ago and since my period has ended, I have had dark brown discharge and I am extremely concerned. Can you advise if this is a known side effect of Yaz? Furthermore, should I continue taking this pill?
Kindly let me know....
Hi, Irregular uterine bleeding is seen during the first two to three months of use of the pill and if it does not settle down by then, it would be better to change over to another pill. Drosperinone, one of the contents of this pill is said to increase the risk of thromboembolism and hence proper monitoring is needed and in the event of any doubt, change of pill is necessary. Hope your query is clarified. Take care.
