Excessive bleeding: If you have experienced 3 bouts of heavy bleeding (around the length of a period) then you should contact your PCM or your gynecologist to explore this imbalance further.

Agree with Dr. F: If by birth control you mean oral contraceptive pill. it may not be working as designed. It would be prudent to see the doctor who prescribed the pill or your gynecologist. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
