Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 30 years old this year. Due to various reasons, I am only now ready to have a child. A few days ago after ovulation induction, the doctor prescribed dydrogesterone. After taking it for three days, I experienced breast pain. Have you ever experienced breast pain after taking dydrogesterone? How long does the breast tenderness caused by dydrogesterone usually subside?Doctor's answer:
Dydrogesterone is a progesterone drug that is commonly used in hospitals to regulate menstruation or prevent miscarriage. During the course of taking dydrogesterone, breast tenderness and pain may reappear, and symptoms such as dizziness and fatigue may also occur. This is not always the case; breast pain may be due to issues like mastitis. If this occurs, it is essential to undergo a thorough and detailed examination of the breast through routine procedures. Treatment measures should be adopted based on the examination results, and it is important to maintain a stable emotional state during this time. In terms of diet, it is also necessary to keep it light and simple. Antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications can be taken, and if the effect is not satisfactory, surgical treatment should be coordinated. Therefore, if breast tenderness and pain reappear during medication, this is a normal adverse reaction of the drug and there is no need to be anxious.
