I have been having light bleeding for a month. The doctor has advised me to take Pause MF to stop the bleeding. I have taken all hormonal tests, PCOD, and thyroid tests, and everything is within the normal range. Can I take Pause MF to stop the bleeding? For how many days can I take it?

Sir, I noticed red spots on my palms yesterday, and today they have spread to my feet. Could you please help me understand what the problem might be and its cause? I am awaiting my blood test report, but these spots have spread a lot over the past two days. Apart from medical treatment, what additional precautions should I take at home until I get my report? Kindly help
