Can Loette cause heavy bleeding and frequent urination?
Patient: I ve been taking Loette for two months, and skipped my period inbetween the two packets. I ve now gotten breakthrough bleeding for about 10 days, it s really heavy, just like a normal period and i ve had really bad cramps. is this my period? or is it BTB? is there a chance i m pregnant? when can i expect this to stop? also, i feel a constant need to urinate and when i do, my clitoris burns. I m really worried ): Doctor: HiThis is more likely to be a breakthrough bleeding.Sometimes breakthrough bleeding can occur, even though you are taking the Pill continuously. If the bleeding is light or just spotting that lasts for two or three days, keep taking the hormone pills daily as you have been. If the light bleeding continues for more than three or four days, or is more like a moderate or heavy period that lasts for more than a day, a four-day break from the Pill is recommended. During this time, you should experience a proper period. Start taking the active pills again after four days. Do not use this technique more than once in any four-week cycle. If you miss two or more active tablets, the pill is much less effective as a contraceptive.Rule out any urinary tract infection and adequate hydration is essential.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. RegardsDr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
