Patient's question:
After taking Depo-Provera for three months, my endocrine test results for hormones were normal. Now that I have finished the fourth month of Depo-Provera, I have experienced breast tenderness and facial itching again. When I went to the hospital for a blood test after the third month, the results showed normal. Can I stop taking Depo-Provera?Doctor's answer:
The ethinylestradiol and desogestrel tablets are hormone drugs, commonly used as contraceptives. These types of hormonal contraceptives do not regulate menstruation but can instead disrupt it. If hormonal imbalance is caused by neuroendocrine dysfunction, medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor. It is recommended to visit a hospital for relevant examinations to determine the cause of irregular menstruation before selecting medication. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy body and a wonderful life.
