I have been bleeding for 10 days even though I am on the pill, what should I do?
22-year-old woman
Prolonged menstruation: Hello, I have had my period for 10 days and it doesn't stop. I have been taking the pill regularly for several years and I still have a regular 5-day cycle. I haven't made any changes in my lifestyle, except for going on a trip, my period started as soon as I got back.

Hello Mrs.,
Is it heavy bleeding or is it light/spotting?
Is it every day or intermittent?

Light/spotting and every day for the past 10 days!

Thanks for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification!
This can often resolve itself. However, if you have bleeding that persists for 14 days even with the contraceptive pill, you should consult your pharmacist to evaluate the options available to you, suggest alternatives or a consultation with your doctor and ensure a close follow-up with you.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
