I've been taking one meftal spas tablet on the first day of my periods to deal with painful cramps, and it usually helps with the pain pretty quickly. But I've noticed that my bleeding has really lessened over time. I only bleed for around two days now, and then there's just a bit of brown or blackish discharge. I'm wondering if the medication could be causing this change, or could there be some other reason for it?

Reduced bleeding and the brown or black spotting you are experiencing could be due to the use of Meftal Spas tablet. Meftal Spas contains a combination of Dicyclomine and Mefenamic Acid, which is commonly used to relieve menstrual pain and cramps. However, if you are concerned about the changes in your menstrual bleeding pattern, it is advisable to consult with your gynecologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been dealing with this issue for a while and I'm pretty confused about it. I'm 23 and my periods are either super light or almost nonexistent at times. Sometimes I'll just see a tiny bit of blood, and then nothing for the first few days, but then it starts up from the 4th day. It gets me pretty worried. Could you help me understand why this is happening?
Your irregular menstrual bleeding patterns, including delayed onset, reduced flow, or prolonged spotting, could be due to various factors such as hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, stress, or weight fluctuations; consult a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation, pelvic exam, and potential ultrasound or blood tests to determine the underlying cause and develop a personalized treatment plan.
