Patient's question:
I originally took Mifeprex for birth control. After stopping the medication in March this year, my period hasn't come. After a check-up, it was found that my uterus is smaller, so I started taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. In October, I received progesterone shots, and my period came, but the amount was very small. In November, my period didn't come again. On November 24, I received progesterone shots for three days, but my period still hasn't come. What could be the reason? I have used a pregnancy test, and it was negative.First question supplement: I want to ask why my period hasn't come after receiving the progesterone shots? It seems that usually, it should come 5-7 days after the injection.
Doctor's answer:
The longest muscle injection of progesterone for 2 weeks, if the menstrual period still does not come, it means that the estrogen level in your body is low and needs estrogen supplementation. The fundamental treatment is to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to promote ovulation. If the menstrual period is delayed, it is also necessary to consider factors such as fatigue, poor rest, nervous tension, anxiety, environmental changes, gynecological inflammation, and endocrine disorders, all of which may lead to delayed menstruation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for check-ups on six sex hormones and ultrasound to identify the cause and then receive targeted treatment.
