Is it normal for menstrual delay when taking medication for breast hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

Is it normal to have a delayed menstrual period while taking breast hyperplasia medication? I've been taking this medication recently, but my period seems to have stopped.

Doctor's answer:

This is not uncommon either, and it could be caused by medication affecting the endocrine system. However, menstruation should not be delayed by less than a week. You can also wait and see for a bit longer. If it doesn't come within a week, after ruling out pregnancy, you can decide to use medication to regulate your period. There are many options for estrogen and progesterone medications. If the test strip shows positive, then you will need to stop taking medication and go to the hospital for further confirmation to determine if you are truly pregnant.
