I had brown spotting after about 4 years of continuous use of the contraceptive pill yaz, should I stop the pill for 4 or 7 days?

It is normal to experience some changes in menstruation while taking oral contraceptives continuously without missing any doses. Factors like fatigue, stress, and fever can sometimes cause spotting. If you are experiencing abnormal vaginal discharge, severe abdominal pain, or repeated menstrual irregularities, it's best to consult your doctor or nurse. It is recommended to take a maximum of 4 days off from your contraceptive pill and then resume it as usual. If you have been taking the pink pills continuously without taking the white ones, you can take a 4-day break at any point in your pack. If you have been taking the white pills as well, continue taking your pills regularly without a break.
