Patient's question:
Daughter has to take the college entrance examination in these days. She happened to have something during these days when her menstruation comes, so she wants to take gynecological medicine orally every day to postpone the onset of menstruation. She wants to ask, is one pill of gynecological medicine per day enough to postpone menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if you plan to postpone your menstrual period, it is recommended to take 200 mg per day, two tablets each day, for five consecutive days. After stopping the medication, you can expect your period to arrive three to seven days later. You can also take it according to your own method. If there is a small amount of bleeding during this period, it is better to take two tablets. Artificially altering your menstrual cycle may lead to menstrual disorders. It is recommended to rest and maintain personal hygiene, avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy, and cold foods. Start taking the medication one week before your period is expected, and do not miss any doses. Your period should arrive about one week after stopping the medication.
