Delayed menstruation may be caused by excessive mental stress or improper diet.

We should see a doctor in time and seek treatment as soon as possible. However, there may be cases where we need to delay menstruation. At this time, we can rely on some medicines to help us, but it is generally recommended not to do so. So what medicine should we take to delay menstruation?

What medicine is good to delay menstruation?

1. Contraceptive pills: Contraceptive pills are one of the common ways to delay menstruation. The birth control pill consists of a small dose of female hormone combined with a high dose of estrogen. Because emergency contraception contains a high amount of estrogen, taking the medicine can maintain, increase, and prevent the uterine wall from exfoliating, thereby achieving the purpose of delaying menstruation.

Directions:

For those with regular menstruation, you can start taking oral contraceptive pills 3-5 days before menstruation, one tablet every night, and continue taking it until the menstrual period. Your period will come 3-5 days after stopping the pills.

For those who are taking short-term contraceptive pills, they can take them again after taking 22 tablets.

Supplement in the first half of the menstrual cycle, preferably one week before the next menarche, and continue taking birth control pills every day, two pieces a day, until three days before your scheduled delayed menstrual time. In this way, the purpose of delaying menstruation can be achieved.

But some women take the medicine for 2-3 months at a time or for several months at a time in order to have less menstruation, which is not advisable. Because the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and uterine wall are difficult to repair after being excessively inhibited by drugs.

2. Simple estrogen: The mechanism of action of simple estrogen in delaying menstruation is the same as that of emergency contraception.

How to take: There are many types of estrogens, the most common one is oral administration of progesterone. Generally take 2 tablets each time, 2-3 times a day. You can also inject luteal copper 20 mg intramuscularly once a day, 2-3 days before menarche and apply it to the expected stage. Injectable medication is a pure natural Chinese medicine preparation with minimal digestive system reaction, but injection application is relatively inconvenient. However, since pure estrogen drugs do not contain estrogen, their effect in delaying menstruation is not as stable as emergency contraception.
