Bleeding with Primolut N (norethisterone 5 mg) often settles within a few days to a couple of weeks, but persistent or heavy bleeding should be reviewed by a gynecologist.

⚕️ Likely causes

• Hormonal adjustment/withdrawal from starting or stopping norethisterone — common and often settles within days–2 weeks.
• Breakthrough bleeding while on progestogen treatment (Primolut N) — may be irregular or prolonged.
• Other causes (e.g., pregnancy, infection, fibroids) could be present and need evaluation.

🏥 What to do now

• Continue the tablet exactly as prescribed unless bleeding is very heavy or your prescriber advised stopping.
• Track bleeding: start/stop dates, pad/tampon count, clots, and any pain or dizziness.
• Use sanitary protection, rest, and stay hydrated; discuss iron supplements if bleeding is prolonged.
• Contact a gynecologist promptly if you feel unwell.

⚠️ Warning signs — seek urgent care

• Soaking a pad or tampon every hour for 2 hours or more.
• Fainting, severe dizziness, or breathlessness.
• Very severe lower abdominal pain or fever.

🩺 When to see a doctor

• See a gynecologist if bleeding continues beyond 7–14 days, becomes heavier, or you have any warning signs.
• The doctor may do a pregnancy test, pelvic exam, ultrasound and blood tests including hemoglobin (Hb).

🩺 Follow-up questions

• How many days has the bleeding been ongoing?
• When did you start Primolut N and for what reason (delay period, irregular bleeding, etc.)?
• Are you passing large clots or soaking pads—how many per hour?
