Patient's question:
Due to ovarian cysts, I have been taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets since the fifth day of my period. However, this month, after the fifth day of my period, I ran out of medication and bought it on the seventh day. Can I still take it?Doctor's answer:
You can take the medication on the 7th day of your menstrual cycle, and it will not cause any side effects. It is important to complete one course of treatment without missing any doses. It is recommended that patients use contraception during sexual activity in the first 7 days after starting the medication, as breastfeeding effectiveness will not be achieved until after this period. After the 7th day, it is best to start taking the medication on the 5th day of your menstrual cycle and take it at the same time every day for optimal results. In addition to standard treatment for ovarian cysts, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light and balanced diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should carefully choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
