Patient's question:
My wife suddenly had vaginal bleeding two days ago, which scared me into taking her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was caused by endocrine disorders leading to functional uterine bleeding symptoms and prescribed Desogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets for us. However, we forgot to ask how to take it specifically, so we wanted to consult here. Can Desogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets be taken orally to treat functional uterine bleeding?Doctor's answer:
The conventional use of desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets is once a day, one tablet. If you are a patient with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, then obviously this dose is not sufficient, and the medication dosage should be increased by 3-6 times, taken three times a day. After the bleeding stops within 72 hours, the dosage should be increased until it reaches the conventional dose. However, it is necessary to alternate the medication every 21 days. During the medication period, avoid spicy foods and consume more high-nutritional-value foods.
