I haven't had my period for a long time, and my menstrual cycle is irregular. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation, the latest one was on 11/29, and it hasn't come yet. On January 9th, I did an ultrasound at the hospital, and there was a cyst on the right ovary. The doctor said it might be due to physiological reasons for the menstruation being like this. He suggested waiting until the menstruation is clean to do a follow-up check and asked me to take Dydrogesterone tablets for a week. Now, a week has passed, and my period still hasn't come. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is inferred that if you have been taking progesterone tablets, your period has not arrived yet. Currently, it is recommended to wait and see. Generally, medication needs to be stopped for about a week before the period comes. It usually takes 5 to 7 days after stopping the medication for the period to arrive. The recurrence of gynecological diseases poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients need to pay attention to post-period follow-up checks, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods.
