I'm taking primolut n tablet's my bleeding is not stopping.!When will the bleeding stop.?

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?

If you want, I can explain likely tests or treatments your gynecologist may offer.
