Suggestions for birth control to help stop breakthrough bleeding/spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: The best option 4 stopping breakthrough bleeding(btb) depends on the underlying cause. 4 example, if u use birth control pills & frequently miss doses, u may have btb. In this case, perhaps a patch, an iud or an Implanon would be good options. If your issues w/ abnormal bleeding r related 2 thyroid dysfunction, weight problems, bleeding disorders, etc. This would be addressed differently. C ur md.
