Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I want to delay menstruation. Please advice.

Answered by Dr. Uzma Arqam

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You can have hormonal medications to delay the periods. For better results, start 5 to 7 days in advance of a particular date. Have tablet Primolut N (10 mg twice daily) and continue till three days before you want to have periods. After stopping medications, you can have withdrawal bleed within latest two weeks and earliest 3 to 4 days. You can have heavy prolonged bleeding after stopping medications, it depends on your body how it reacts. Later, for some time periods will be disturbed and then gradually will be regular. Have a balanced diet, weight, and BMI. A complete treatment of any health issue you have will be helpful.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
