A member asked:

Breakthrough bleeding how to stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends...: ...on the cause. If you're not on any hormones (like birth control pills), then this is not normal, and you should be examined right away. If you're taking birth control pills, you probably need a higher dose.
