Patient's question:
My daughter is 20 years old and has a relatively weak constitution, making her prone to catching colds and getting sick. Recently, her menstrual cycle has been irregular, and she's unsure if it's due to excessive academic pressure causing her period to arrive late.Hello, she has been taking Desogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets for her irregular period. After finishing one box, her period arrived the next day. Should she continue taking it with focus?
Doctor's answer:
If it's just for regulating the menstrual cycle, you can take desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets anytime. Irregular periods may be caused by uterine cold. Pay attention to a proper diet in daily life, avoid cold and extremely cold foods, and take care to protect your abdomen from cold. Eat more blood-nourishing foods such as jujubes, goji berries, longans, and eel glue, which can alleviate anemia symptoms during the menstrual period. Avoid excessive stress, maintain a relaxed mood, and don't get fatigued.
