Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 29 years old. I was diagnosed with endometrial polyps two weeks ago after a thorough examination. The doctor at the hospital prescribed dydrogesterone for me to take. Now I feel severe breast pain, a sense of fullness and discomfort. Do endometrial polyps have any side effects when taking dydrogesterone?Doctor's answer:
The effect of this medication on endometrial polyps is not significant. It should be taken for a short period to induce menstruation, and then a follow-up check should be conducted after the menstruation is clean. During the medication period, some common side effects such as dizziness, nausea, and breast swelling may reappear. Usually, menstruation will come a few days after stopping the medication. A follow-up check can be performed after the menstruation is clean. If the endometrial polyps are still present or relatively large, a hysteroscopy surgery can be scheduled.
