Patient's question:
At first, the menstrual period was light, but now after taking medication, it has been continuous and heavy. Should I stop taking the medication now? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on your age, it is likely that you are entering menopause. For women in menopause, changes in the recurrence of menstruation are a normal phenomenon. However, I do not know what medication you are taking. It could be related to a high dosage of estrogen or progesterone. If you are taking hormone-based medication, it is recommended not to stop it abruptly, as doing so may easily lead to irregular shedding of the endometrium, even resulting in heavy bleeding. Some medications may cause the symptoms you described when first taken. It is advised to take the medication as prescribed and not to discontinue it arbitrarily.
