Patient's question:
I want to postpone my period by taking gynecological medication for a swimming competition on the 21st. Can I eat spicy food during the days I am taking the gynecological medication?Doctor's answer:
Delaying menstruation can begin taking gynecological medication preparations at least one week before the expected onset of menstruation. Generally, stopping the medication for three to seven days will result in withdrawal vaginal bleeding. The medication must be taken continuously until the date when menstruation can occur. There are no dietary restrictions during the course of taking gynecological medication. Be careful not to miss doses or stop the medication arbitrarily. Go to the pharmacy and buy the short-acting birth control pill containing levonorgestrel. Start taking it three days before the exam. After the exam is over, stop taking the medication. Menstruation usually occurs within one week after stopping the medication.
