Patient's question:
Six months ago, we started having sex, and occasionally there would be some minor abrasions. A week before my period, every time we had sex, it would almost always cause abrasions. In April 2012, I went to Nanjing Maternal and Child Health Hospital. The endocrinology expert, Dr. Gu, said that since I don't want to have children for the next two years, is it okay for me to take long-term oral contraceptives? Should I go to the hospital to get a prescription or can I buy them directly at a pharmacy? Will taking long-term oral contraceptives affect me due to endocrine disorders?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for endocrine disorders are very numerous. I don't know your specific situation, but could you please send me your detailed check-up report for review? If there is any bleeding during intercourse, it must be taken very seriously. Getting a cervical cancer screening is important. It's not scary to have gynecological diseases; patients should believe they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
