1. side effect of utolvan [norethisterone] is irregular bleeding [which you are experiencing] along with depressed mood and breast discomfort.

2. In Ayurveda we usually group the symptoms/disease under 'Rakta Pradara' [menorrhagia/metrorrhagia] and is caused by aggravation of pitta in the body, thus;
. Avoid hot and spicy food, take sugarcane,grapes,pomegranate, banana.
. Avoid mental stress and adequate rest is essential. [foot end elevation is required]
. avoid sexual intercourse.
. Take magnesium and iron rich food an if bleeding continues then consult a gynecologist.
