Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 23-year-old female and have been prescribed Duphaston for 10 days to treat continuous bleeding. Within three days of stopping (after 10 days) the tablet again I got bleeding with cramps. Is this normal?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Duphaston (Dydrogesterone) is a medication used to treat certain gynecological conditions, such as menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) and endometrial hyperplasia (thickening of the uterine lining). It works by helping to maintain a healthy balance of hormones in the body and reducing the amount of bleeding during menstruation. It is common for women to experience some spotting or light bleeding after stopping Duphaston, especially if they have been taking it for an extended period. This is because the medication helps to regulate the menstrual cycle, and stopping it can cause a temporary shift in hormone levels that may result in some bleeding.

The cramps you are experiencing could also be related to the bleeding, as they are a common symptom of menstruation. However, if the cramps are particularly severe or if you are experiencing other symptoms, such as fever or pain in the lower abdomen, there may be another underlying medical condition that needs to be addressed.

If you are concerned about your symptoms or if your bleeding is particularly heavy or prolonged, it is a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider. They can help determine the cause of your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment options based on your individual needs and circumstances. This may include adjusting your medication regimen, making lifestyle changes, or further diagnostic testing to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

I hope I have answered your query.

Thank you.

Regards.
