Was On Birth Control. Have Had Irregular Period. Why Do I Have Sudden Heavy Bleeding?

I was put on birth control of March of this year, so my periods have been irregular and light. By about June or July, I had no period at all. About 2 weeks ago, I started having bloody discharge so I just figured it was my period. Day by day, it has gotten worse. I am now fully bleeding, like a heavy period, but I have been doing so for the past 2 weeks. Is there anything I should be concerned about or that I should see a doctor about this?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The bleeding that you are having now is likely to be a dysfunctional uterine bleeding. It needs proper evaluation and hormonal treatment to control the bleeding. Do consult your gynecologist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
