<s>[INST] i have been on junel birth control for over a year and recently in my past two menstruations i have had an unusual massive amount of bleeding lasting between a week to 10 days and vaginal discomfort along with severe abdominal cramps and a daze sensation in my head. i am  confused on whether i should see my doctor or if this is usual for this certain type of pill? is there anything i can do to help reduce these symptoms other than Advil, heating pad or midol? [/INST] Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about the massive menstrual bedding and the lengthy nature. It is clearly abnormal and needs to be investigated. I will suggest that you meet with your ORGAN to get the possible causes of excessive and lengthy bleeding investigated. Some of them include fibroid, polyps, etc. If nothing is found, then measures would be taken to correct that. Excessive bleeding can lead to low blood volume, shock, anemia and eve death that I will strongly discourage you from trying to manage all by yourself. The pain medications are okay but remember they do not solve the cause and reason why you still need to see a doctor. I hope this ad Chat Doctor.
