Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:I haven't had my period for over two months, and after testing, it was confirmed that I am not pregnant. Since my period stopped, I've been breaking out in acne constantly on my face. A few days ago, I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said there were no abnormalities, just that the uterine wall was slightly thickened. They started me on progesterone injections. Originally, I was supposed to get four injections, but after receiving three in a row, I had other commitments on the fourth day and missed it. On the fifth day, I got another injection, and today is the sixth day. I would like to ask:
1. Will there be any problems if I didn't get the injections consecutively?
2. How many days after getting the injections can I expect my period to return?
3. What could be the reason for the acne on my face? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:
Hello, this can be treated. Generally, menstruation can return in about a week. Acne on the face is a problem related to the endocrine system. You should pay attention to facial hygiene and eat less spicy and stimulating food.The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. You should also drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
