Suggest Treatment For Stress And Abnormal Bleeding During Menstruation

I ve been under stress and noticed I ve been bleeding a week after more normal cycle and for 10 days. The flow is light to spotting and has gotten darker. I am on birth control and when I went to the doctor they said the blood was coming from my uterus. What are your thoughts to the issue? I m currently treating a yeast infection and BV

Hi, I have gone through your question. The cause of spotting and dark blood can be due to the birth control pills. Sometimes, the withdrawal bleeding after taking pills is prolonged and occurs as spotting of dark altered blood from the uterus.
However, the cause can be hormonal disturbances or any local lesions in cervix or vagina.
I would suggest you to observe the bleeding pattern during the periods for next 2 cycles while on the pills, if it still is same, then do get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
