Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the issue is due to altered hormone levels due to intermittent stoppage of the OC pills.

The disturbance will be automatically settled down up to the next menstrual cycle and do not panic for the same.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
