What Does Prolonged Vaginal Bleeding While On Althea Pills Indicate?

My fiance started to take althea pills on the 2nd day of her period the following the her period stopped. While half way through the pill packet her period came and won t stop. Its been more than 10 days now. We will definitely go to her OB this week but for now is there anything we need to worry about?

Hello,

Slight menstrual irregularities can happen with hormonal pills. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself. If bleeding persists you can consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
