Disease description:

I experienced intolerance to the intrauterine device (IUD), so I had no choice but to take oral contraceptives. This month, I stopped taking the pill just two days ago and began experiencing vaginal bleeding. How should I manage or stop the bleeding while taking Yaz (Yasminelle)?

Bleeding while taking Yasmine is one of the side effects of oral contraceptives. Its symptoms include irregular vaginal bleeding, which may last for more than seven days—a phenomenon considered normal. If the bleeding is light, no specific treatment is required. In most cases, symptoms resolve spontaneously while continuing the medication. However, if the bleeding is heavy, prompt medical evaluation is necessary to rule out any uterine abnormalities.
