Patient's question:
My menstrual cycle is irregular, and now I want to take "Methylestradiol Tablets" to induce menstruation. On the third day of menstruation, I plan to get a sex hormone check. Is this okay? If so, how should I take it? How many tablets (2mg each) should I take per day? And for how many days?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, a light menstrual flow is usually caused by low estrogen levels. Estrogen stimulates the proliferation and thickening of the endometrium. The proliferated endometrium then sheds, resulting in menstrual bleeding. Low estrogen levels in the body can lead to insufficient endometrial thickening, resulting in less bleeding during menstruation. For your condition, it is recommended to undergo an endocrine examination to check whether your hormone levels are normal and then take medication accordingly.
