What medications are available to delay menstruation?

Patient's question:

There is still more than a month left until the Chinese New Year. Every year, I get my period during the Spring Festival, which is very inconvenient. Is there any medication that can delay my period? Please provide detailed information about its functions. Thank you!!!

Doctor's answer:

You can start taking progesterone orally 3-5 days before your period, take one tablet each night, and continue until the activity ends. About 3-5 days after stopping the medication, your period will start. If there are no special circumstances, it is best not to disrupt your menstrual cycle easily.
Irregular menstruation not only affects a person's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
