What should you do when you have an important date during your menstrual period?

    When a menstrual period encounters an important date, it is common to want to avoid it through artificial means. Especially before entrance exams or college entrance exams, there are always parents bringing their children over for consultation.

    The "most popular" method now is to take birth control pills. "Contraceptive pills are a type of hormonal medicine. Judging from the efficacy, taking birth control pills can indeed temporarily delay menstruation, but its side effects are relatively large. Some people with severe reactions may even experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea , dizziness and other symptoms. If a child happens to have these symptoms after taking it, it will affect his or her performance in the exam. What's more, as minors, if it is not for medical treatment, I do not recommend them to take birth control pills prematurely! After all, there are other ways to change your period, so there’s no need to choose this. ”

    Some girls will bleed from their private parts after taking birth control pills. Although this is one of the normal reactions after taking birth control pills, it can frighten those girls. Therefore, she often recommends progesterone to them.

    If a girl's menstruation is relatively regular, for example, she always gets her period on the 8th of every month, then she can start taking progesterone 7 days before her period, that is, on the 1st of the month, and continue taking it until the end of the college entrance examination. If menstruation is irregular and girls who always have missed periods do not need to take any medicine, maybe they will have missed periods again this time and they can avoid it naturally. ； Girls whose menstruation is always early can also take progesterone 7 days in advance until the end of the college entrance examination.

    The "progesterone" she is talking about is the "medroxyprogesterone tablets" sold in pharmacies. They are usually 2 mg tablets and can be taken every night. sleep Take 5 tablets beforehand, totaling 10 mg. If you take medicine in the morning, you may feel dizzy. Taking medicine before going to bed at night can prevent this side effect.

    When asked whether there are any side effects of taking progesterone, Cheng Lizhen said that the most common side effect is that the menstrual flow after stopping the drug will be slightly heavier than before. Eating for just a few days won't be a big deal in the long run.
