Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I have had irregular menstruation for three or four years. I have seen both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine doctors, but it hasn't been completely resolved. Recently, I have been taking dydrogesterone tablets, which have been quite effective. This month, I started taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets, but after taking them, I've been feeling dizzy and nauseous. Most importantly, I feel a slight pain in my lower abdomen after my period ends, along with some light blood discharge. Could you please help me understand what's going on?Doctor's answer:
In your case, experiencing these symptoms while taking this medication is normal, and it could also be possible that it may be related to pelvic inflammatory disease. Pay attention to rest, enhance nutrition, and it is recommended to visit the hospital on the third day of your period for a thorough check-up of the six sex hormone tests. Temporarily avoid frozen and irritating foods. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to focus on self-care training, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods. Lastly, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
