What are the side effects of taking medication for long-term severe menstrual disorders?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello!
Below is my detailed medical history. I hope you can help me.
Patient: Female, 20 years old. Single. Due to my long-term severe menstrual irregularities, I usually have my period only two or three times a month. Then, the doctor prescribed me Medroxyprogesterone Acetate tablets to induce menstruation, along with a course of Guizhao Tiao Jing tablets and Gynecological Ten-Ingredient Tablets. After taking the medicine for two months, I only had my period in the first month. After that, I went for a follow-up checkup, and the doctor prescribed artificial cycle treatment. First, I took 20 days of Diethylstilbestrol tablets, one tablet per day. On the 16th day of taking Diethylstilbestrol tablets, I also started taking Medroxyprogesterone Acetate tablets.

Doctor's answer:

Irregular menstruation is inevitably related to female infertility, but it does not directly lead to a decline in a woman's fertility. Rather, it is a manifestation of certain gynecological diseases, and these diseases are among the important reasons for the decline in female fertility. For example, when a woman suffers from endometritis, endometriosis, cervicitis, tubal inflammation, abnormal ovarian function, or endocrine system disorders, she may experience varying degrees of menstrual abnormalities. If active preventive measures are not taken at this time, it can significantly affect fertility. These diseases are common gynecological conditions that cause female infertility, so they should be taken seriously.
