Is Light Bleeding During Periods A Cause Of Concern?
I am on the pill, my last 2 periods have been very light, normally I have a very heavy flow! Is this something that I should be worried about or go visit my GP about? On these occasions I have taken a couple of extra pills after my pack has finished just for convenience. could this be the cause?

Hello,
Intake of pills is the probable cause of light menstrual blood flow. However, I suggest you to take the dose prescribed by your gynecologist and not to increase the dose.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
