Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, the estradiol and progesterone prescribed by the doctor, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, the doctor instructed to take estradiol until the 13th day and then combine it with progesterone. Then, they should be taken together until the medication is finished. However, I always forget to take them, and now the estradiol is gone, but there are still 4 days' worth of progesterone left. Do I still need to take the progesterone?Doctor's answer:
These two medications are part of a artificial cycle therapy and should not be missed, as otherwise it may lead to menstrual disorders. It is recommended that you stop taking the medication now and wait for your period to come before starting the next oral course. It cannot be missed. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations.
