Patient's question:
I am taking gynecological medication to regulate my period. I start taking it on the 16th day after my period begins and continue for six days. However, my period came back the second day after I stopped the medication, which means there was only an 18-day interval between the two periods. Is this not normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. Currently, based on your description, having two menstrual periods in a month, with one occurring during the ovulation period, is normal. Ovulation bleeding is usually minimal and considered a normal phenomenon. When taking gynecological medication capsules to regulate your menstrual cycle, it is recommended not to take them for an extended period. Long-term use can lead to endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularities. Since taking hormone-containing gynecological medications can cause withdrawal bleeding within a week, there is no need to be overly concerned. There are many reasons that can cause menstrual irregularities!
