What To Do If Experiencing Heavy Bleeding Before Periods While On Alesse Birth Control?
Hi, i am a young adult. I am 10 days away from my period and am experiencing heavy bleeding. I am currently taking Alesse birth control, and not sure if that has any effect. My nipple was also bleeding a few days ago which has never happened before. I have had only minor cramping and the blood is dark, but started brown.

Hello,
In the current scenario, you need immediate medical assistance. The bleeding is very likely to be a side effect of the hormone contraception. Also, bloody nipple discharge calls for further evaluation. I would ask you to see a specialist for a complete assessment to plan further management.
