Hello,
After stopping birth control pills, it is normal to have heavy bleeding. As the body gets adjusted with the changes in the hormones your periods will become regular and you will bleed normally. No worries. Just take care of your diet, take home made nutritious food rich in iron,
magnesium, calcium and proteins. You are having
green stool. It can be a temporary condition that results from eating certain foods or taking specific medications or supplements.
Bacteria like
Salmonella, the water parasite giardia, and norovirus are all potential causes and can cause green stool. Food poisoning also causes green stool. Green poop are a sign of digestive complications like
malabsorption syndrome,
dehydration,
malnutrition, and low level of potassium. Although passing of green poop itself is not dangerous but may require treatment if bacteria or parasites are detected.
Green stools are also caused in pregnancy due to IBS, diet changes, vitamins, prenatal medicines, etc. Get a
stool test done, stool examination (R/E and C/S). If bacteria, parasite, etc., is detected, you will be given conservative treatment. In the meantime, stay away from addictions if any and take boiled food for a couple of days. Avoid spicy, oily, junk food.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
