Introduction
Yasmin usually refers to drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets. In general, menstruation occurs 3–7 days after stopping the medication. Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets are over-the-counter oral contraceptives used for female birth control. After discontinuation of the drug for 3–7 days, estrogen and progesterone levels in the body begin to decline, triggering endometrial shedding and resulting in bleeding—known as withdrawal bleeding—which is similar to a menstrual period.

Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets are over-the-counter oral contraceptive drugs used for female contraception. Three to seven days after discontinuation, estrogen and progesterone levels in the body begin to decline, triggering endometrial shedding and resulting in bleeding—known as withdrawal bleeding—which is similar to a menstrual period. It should be noted that use of this medication may cause side effects such as nausea or breast tenderness. The drug must not be used if pregnancy is known or suspected.

Patients are advised to take the medication as directed by their physician. If any discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention should be sought, and treatment should be conducted under professional medical guidance to facilitate recovery.
