Patient's question:
Previously, I was hospitalized for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. I took medication and was discharged for follow-up tests. The doctor prescribed progesterone capsules to take alongside the medication. After finishing a pack of progesterone capsules, my period started. It's now the fourth day of my period, and the flow is still quite heavy. Should I continue taking progesterone?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, the current bleeding after medication can be considered as a menstrual period. It is recommended that you pay attention to personal hygiene. Since menstruation has already occurred, it is advisable to stop medication. In the future, pay attention to your diet, avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, maintain a regular lifestyle, and avoid overworking. There are many treatment methods for this condition, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach should also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to seek professional medical advice as soon as possible for detailed testing to determine the appropriate treatment.
