I m on birth control (the one you get put in your arm) and lately ive been having weird stuff happening to my body. One time (just a few weeks ago) i had my period for 3 weeks straight. i havent been bleeding since really. ever since my period ive been having brown discharge. some times a reddish light brown color thats really thick. i noticed small pimple like bumps appearing around my areola. i constantly have pains in my uterus area. the pain sometimes gets bad to the point it sends sharp pains through my lower back. the doctors here are to dumb to figure out whats wrong. any advise?
Hello, Menstrual pattern disruptions are a common finding while using hormone contraception. Your description of symptoms, however, calls for further evaluation. I would suggest proper clinical assessment by an expert, blood counts, urinalysis, pregnancy test and a sonogram of the pelvis preferably through the transvaginal route. Coagulation profile also needed. If pregnancy is excluded, cysts of the ovary have to be looking for. Styptics help in controlling the spotting. Infections, if any, have to be attended to. Antispasmodic medication helps to relieve the pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
