Patient's question:
Menstruation hasn't come for over fifty days, and after taking progesterone to induce it, I haven't had my period even after stopping the medication for three days. Three years ago, I had a medication-induced abortion. I'm planning to have an endocrine check-up. I'd like to consult about the six tests included in the endocrine check-up: can it detect whether I had a medication-induced abortion and identify any gynecological diseases? The kind of help I need: I want to ask if the endocrine check-up can detect whether I had a medication-induced abortion and identify any gynecological diseases?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of the condition, it seems that you haven't had your period for over fifty days, and even after taking progesterone to induce it, you haven't had your period after stopping the medication for three days. Three years ago, you had a medication-induced abortion. You are planning to undergo an endocrine examination. The six tests included in the endocrine examination will not reveal whether you have had a medication-induced abortion or other gynecological conditions. The six endocrine tests involve blood tests to measure the levels of sex hormones. For other gynecological conditions, a pelvic ultrasound examination is necessary. For gynecological patients, in addition to taking oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations.
