Patient's question:
A few months ago, my period was irregular. Last month, I took progesterone pills to induce my period. This month, it's delayed by five days. Can I still take them?Doctor's answer:
For the past few months, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. Last month, I only got my period after taking progesterone pills. It is considered to be caused by abnormal sex hormone levels.Recommendation:
Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Get tested for the six sex hormones to understand how they are normal. Undergo a thorough ultrasound examination to assess the condition of the uterine appendages and identify any abnormalities in the uterine cavity. Determine the thickness of the endometrium. Based on the examination results, a clear diagnosis and underlying cause can be established, followed by selecting an appropriate treatment plan.
