Bleeding for more than 10 days
My mother's menstrual bleeding has been longer than usual this month (>10 days). She was a little worried abt this so she visited a gynaec...she examined and prescribed regesterone tablets for 15 days and stated it as hormonal imbalance. But i have read that the component of regesterone is norethindrone which if taken on a prolonged basis increases the risk of breast cancer...so is it safe to consume this pill for 15 days. Pls help.( I have attached the prescription of the doctor) Thanku
