Can Irregular Intake Of Birth Control Pills Cause Abrupt Bleeding And Pain In The Lower Pelvic Area?

Brief Answer:
Various Causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Irregular and sudden bleeding on birth control pills can be due to the withdrawal of hormones because of the irregular intake of the pills.
Other causes can be local lesions in the vagina, cervix or uterus.
A proper internal examination by an OBGYN specialist, pap smear and ultrasound should be done to confirm the diagnosis and get further treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
