Patient's question:
Female; 20 years old; no sexual experience; virgin; Before masturbation, I felt like my period was about to come, but after masturbation, it seemed to disappear, and my period is already 7 days late and has not arrived yet. What is going on? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In clinical practice, the primary progestogen drugs used to delay menstruation are dydrogesterone, taken twice daily with 10 mg each time. Taking it for 3 to 5 days is sufficient. Since menstruation only occurs several days after stopping the medication, it is not difficult to avoid the exam period. Additionally, oral contraceptive pills like Marvelon can also be started from the first day of the menstrual cycle (the first day of bleeding) to achieve the effect of delaying menstruation.It must be emphasized that regardless of the method chosen to delay menstruation, it should be done under the guidance of a professional physician. Methods using exogenous sex hormones to delay menstruation still have some drawbacks and can be harmful to the body. Therefore, if special circumstances require delaying menstruation with medication, it should be done under the guidance of a gynecologist in a hospital. Never purchase the medication from a pharmacy and take it without consulting a doctor. If any side effects occur after taking the medication, please seek medical attention immediately.
