- Breakthrough bleeding does not happen to anyone. Some people report it as 1 to 13.5%, others think it is 2%, and some people point it to 0.2 to 16.4%, but at most it is only 15 to 16%. The cause of breakthrough bleeding is actually very simple. It is caused by endometrial malnutrition caused by tissue degradation. It has nothing to do with the occurrence of uterine cancer. There is no need to worry. The bleeding phenomenon will naturally disappear during the medication. Can also switch to other types of contraceptives, or take 1.5 to 2 times the original amount, bleeding will stop. Another way to prevent bleeding is to discontinue the medication immediately after the bleeding occurs and start taking it on the fifth day after the bleeding has started. If the bleeding does not stop after taking the above measures, it should be considered to be caused by other diseases. When switching to other contraceptive methods, a comprehensive examination must be carried out.
- There are two types of breakthrough bleeding: those with low estrogen levels and long-term maintenance at threshold levels, intermittent small amounts of bleeding often occur, and last for a long time, and the endometrial repair is slow; high estrogen levels can be maintained and effective People with high concentration often have amenorrhea for a long time, but because there is no ovulation or progesterone resistance, the endometrium is not stable and is easy to fall off in large areas. Acute breakthrough bleeding occurs and the blood volume is large.
