Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 29 years old. I was carefully examined two weeks ago and found endometrial polyps. The doctor at the hospital prescribed dydrogesterone for me to take. Now I feel my breasts are very painful, with a feeling of fullness and pain. Do endometrial polyps have 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, you may experience dizziness, nausea, and breast tenderness, which are common side effects of the drug. Usually, menstruation will occur within 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.
