Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets (Youshyue) which are 28 pills in total with the last 4 being white. The doctor prescribed 3 boxes. When I finished the second box, my period came with a heavy flow, but I didn't stop taking the medication and finished it. Now I've finished the third box, and it's been a while, but there's still blood. The flow is getting lighter, and I need to use sanitary pads, which have even caused my skin to break. It's been a month, and now the flow is increasing again, and my period has returned. So, how should I take this medication? Should I continue to take the next box? I'm a bit reluctant to take it anymore. Is it okay? Will it affect anything?Doctor's answer:
You have experienced menstrual irregularities. During the period of taking oral short-term contraceptives, there has been a very small amount of vaginal peeling, which is a side effect of the medication. It is recommended that you increase the dosage during the peeling period. Generally, as the artificial cycle is established, this phenomenon will gradually increase. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely harms women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding sexual activity throughout their lives. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
