Patient's question:
I had a period of over 50 days without my menstrual cycle last year. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they confirmed that I was not pregnant. The doctor prescribed me progesterone, and after receiving the injection, my period returned. However, this year the same situation occurred again. The doctor still prescribed the same medication, but this time it was in oral form.I would like to ask the doctor if taking this medication regularly can have side effects, and also why I am experiencing this situation. I look forward to your reply.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if it is confirmed that you are not pregnant, then your issue lies in experiencing amenorrhea, which is often related to the decline in ovarian function. This problem needs to be addressed properly, otherwise it cannot be regulated or treated, and this matter should not be ignored. Check your hormone levels in the body to see if they are normal or too low, as this is the main reason for delayed menstruation. It is best to take a course of the short-term contraceptive pill, Marvelon, to regulate it.
