Patient's question:
Due to ovarian cysts, I have been taking oral medication starting from the fifth day of my period. However, this month, after the fifth day of my period, I ran out of medication and bought it on the seventh day. Can I still take it? How to follow up at the hospital: Haven't been to the hospital yet. Proof of current medication: No medication. Medical history and surgery history: None.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I have carefully reviewed your medical history. Taking medication on the 7th day of your menstrual cycle is also acceptable and will not cause any side effects. It is important to complete the full course of treatment without missing any doses.Guidelines and recommendations: It is recommended that patients use contraception during intercourse for the first 7 days after starting medication. After 7 days, breastfeeding will be effective. From then on, it is best to start taking the medication on the 5th day of your menstrual cycle and take it at the same time every day.
For patients with ovarian cysts, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
