Patient's question:
Last month, I went to the hospital for an abortion procedure. At that time, the hospital prescribed me some estradiol valerate tablets, but I don't know what the effect of taking estradiol valerate after an abortion is. Does this medication contain hormones? Can it be taken long-term? Doctor.Doctor's answer:
Now, the term "drug" refers to estrogen, which can be used after an abortion to stabilize and regulate the normal menstrual cycle. From a clinical perspective, if the goal is to regulate the menstrual cycle, the most effective options are actually drugs like Marvelon or Yasmin. No medication should be used long-term, especially estrogen-based drugs, which must never be overused.
