Patient's question:
On the first day of last month, I had my period. It hasn't arrived yet this month. I have been taking the progesterone that was prescribed previously, intermittently for three or four days. Should I continue taking it?Doctor's answer:
It is essential to remove the pregnancy if your menstrual period does not arrive on time. You cannot take progesterone intermittently; you need to take it continuously for 3 to 5 days. After stopping the medication, your period should come within 3 to 5 days. I suggest you take a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy, and then stop taking progesterone. If the urine early pregnancy test is negative, it means you are not pregnant and are waiting for your period to come naturally. Gynecological diseases are a condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
