Good morning, I use evra patches and yesterday I glued the 3rd patch. Since my period ended, there is bleeding all the time. I know it's normal, but after what time to go to the doctor if the bleeding does not stop and I have the impression that after sticking 3 patches it has become more abundant. Should I be afraid of anemia? I would like to add that I have very strong and abundant periods.

If you have concerns about the abundance of bleeding or if it persists for a long time, I encourage you to consult your doctor. Only a doctor will be able to assess your current clinical condition. The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja It is normal that some changes in bleeding may occur while using the Evra contraceptive patch, such as irregular or slight mid-cyclic spotting, however, any bleeding disorders during contraception should be consulted with a gynecologist. If you are concerned about anemia or iron deficiency, it is worth asking your doctor for a morphology test to assess your hemoglobin levels.
