Patient's question:
Due to the menstrual period that arrived on January 6, 2018, it hasn't come yet until now. On February 2, I went to a nearby smaller hospital to get medicine. I have taken the medicine for 3 days now, but it hasn't arrived yet. I don't know how many days it will take to come. How many days can I take gynecological medicine before stopping?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description. If there is a delay in menstruation and there is a history of sexual activity, first rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, you can take gynecological medication orally to induce menstruation. Generally, it is necessary to take it for 5 consecutive days. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a blood test to check hCG levels and rule out the possibility of pregnancy. If you are not pregnant, you need to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to check the thickness of the endometrium. If the endometrium is relatively thick, you can take gynecological medication orally.
