Suggest Remedy To Stop Breakthrough Bleeding

Hello,
I have been on the Microgynon pill for nearly five years. Due to regular holiday's, I am on my third pack without taking a week's break. The last few days I have experienced breakthrough bleeding, however do not know if this is due to stress. Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Many thanks.

Hi,
I understand your query.
Microgynon is a cyclical contraceptive & needs a weeks gap for maintaining optimum hormonal content in body.Barring this a hormonal imbalance may result , causing break through bleeding ( even if you are continuing with the pill.
Stress also adds to hormonal imbalance.
To manage the bleeding..
- Take rest, avoid stress ( mental/ physical )
- Let the blood flow out. for 5 days. In case excessive, capsule CVP gynae can be taken.( 2 capsules three times a day )
- If you need to stop bleeding immediately ( which is not normally advocated,), consult a gynecologist.
Thanks.
