Brief Answer:
Side effect of I-pill.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

I can understand your concern.

Your symptoms are due to side effects of I-pill.

I-pill can cause menstrual irregularities due to hormonal imbalance because it contains high doses of hormone in it.

It can be resolved in 2-3 cycles, but if symptoms persist, then consult a gynecologist for the same.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more.

It's normal to bleed for more than 3 weeks?

Brief Answer:
No, it is not normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Nice to hear from you once again.

No, it is not normal to bleed for 3weeks and you should consult a Gynecologist and get yourself examine and investigated to rule out the cause.

With your history, I understand that you are spotting ( not bleeding) with break of one week for 3 weeks.

If you are bleeding continuously for 3 weeks your problem needs evaluation.

It can be due to hormonal disturbances or other causes like infection, fibroid, cyst and polyp.

Consult a Gynecologist and she will give you some Hemostatic medication along with some hormonal pills to stop the bleeding and examine you to rule out other above mentioned causes.

Hope it is useful.
