Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation, taking drospirenone/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 bleeding. The flow is now light, requiring sanitary pads, and it’s been a month with intermittent bleeding and broken skin. So, how should I take this medication? Should I continue to the next box? I’m a bit reluctant to take it anymore. Is it okay? Will it affect anything?Doctor's answer:
Contraceptives regulate menstruation. It is recommended to start taking them on the first day or the fifth day of the menstrual period. If the first course is started on the fifth day, the second course is also recommended to begin on the fifth day. If there is currently a skin condition, topical medication should be used, and contraceptive pills can be stopped. The recurrence of gynecological diseases poses serious harm to women's health. Patients should pay attention to treatment during their lives and avoid sexual activity. Personal hygiene should also be maintained. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
