What Causes Spotting While On Birth Control Pills?
Question: Hi so I have been on birth control for about 2 years now and I am sexually active. This week I am suppose to be on my period but I am having red discharge with no bleeding. I was wondering if that was normal of if I was...?
Brief Answer:
Mostly normal. Do pregnancy test to clear doubt.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
In my opinion, red discharge is mostly normal and due to effect of birth control pill and as a result of hormonal imbalance. Mental stress, pelvic or vaginal infection, old endometrial tissue etc are relative causes.
However, I suggest you to undergo one home pregnancy test to clear doubt as you are sexually active. Review with test result.
Hope, I have answered your query. Wish your good health and take care.
