Patient's question:
I have always had a very regular menstrual cycle. Since there is an important event next month, I need to avoid my menstrual period and would like to start my period a few days earlier. Which type of contraception would be best to use? How should it be taken?Doctor's answer:
Take, Chinese medicine Si Pian Tiao Jing Decoction: Chinese yam 30g, white peony 30g, angelica sinensis 15g, white peony root 12g, chicken gizzard 15g, chicken blood vine 30g, motherwort 30g, achyranthes 15g. Decoct and drink, one dose per day, for two weeks. Alternatively, you can use progesterone. Ask for advice at the pharmacy. Suggestion: Using birth control pills is effective. The method is as follows: ① For those with regular menstruation, start taking short-acting emergency pills 3-5 days before the period, take one tablet per night, continuously, until the activity ends. Menstruation will occur 3-5 days after stopping the pills. ② For those already taking short-acting birth control pills, continue taking them after completing 22 tablets. ③ In the second half of the menstrual cycle, it is best to start taking oral birth control pills one week before the next expected period, take two tablets per day, continuously, until three days before the desired delayed period. This can achieve the purpose of delaying menstruation. However, some women may take the pills continuously for 2-3 times to reduce the number of periods.
