Hello,

It seems your friend is experiencing the irregular bleeding because of hormonal imbalance due to the incorrect way of taking the hormonal pills. She did not take the full course of 10 days as prescribed by the gynecologist which further lead to aggravation.

I would advise her to consult a gynaecologist so that she can be put on hormonal pills for a few weeks to get her cycle on track. The pills have to be started on the fifth day of the cycle. If she is not relieved, then may have to get a USG and a few blood tests are done to rule out other causes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nazma Amman
