Patient's question:
I have been experiencing irregular periods since two years ago and it has continued until now. My periods are either coming earlier or being delayed, sometimes I don't even know when my menstruation is going to start. Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor prescribed me Marvelon for the irregular periods. Is Marvelon effective in treating irregular periods?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation being one week early or one week late is normal, as it is primarily regulated by the endocrine system. To confirm menstrual irregularities, the first step is to undergo a thorough check-up including hormone six tests and a gynecological ultrasound. Marvelon is a short-acting contraceptive pill containing estrogen and progesterone, which can be used to treat menstrual irregularities. It is recommended that you do not panic and follow the doctor's guidance when using Marvelon. Do not miss any doses, as this may lead to bleeding. The recurrence of gynecological conditions significantly affects women's health. Patients should pay attention to their treatment during this period and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained.
