Doctor's answer:
Hello, your current menstrual bleeding is primarily due to the withdrawal bleeding caused by taking progesterone. Although taking the medication this time made your period come quickly, it may not necessarily happen the next cycle.It is recommended to wait and see how your next menstrual cycle occurs after stopping the medication. Additionally, it is not advisable to take progesterone for treatment, as it may provide temporary relief but is not a long-term solution. It is better to take Chinese medicine for regulation.
For gynecological conditions, in addition to taking medication, it is important to pay attention to self-care. This includes maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is essential for female patients to have regular follow-up examinations!
