What to do if my menstrual flow is still very light after taking Normens for 3 months?

Client_40ef6e

For the past 7–8 months, my menstrual flow has been very light. There were also a few months when my periods stopped completely. After consulting a doctor, I underwent an ultrasound and hormone tests, and all the reports came back normal. Then the doctor prescribed Normens 5 mg for 3 months, with the instruction to take it for 21 days and stop for 7 days in each cycle. However, even after taking the medicine regularly for 3 months, my menstrual flow is still very light, almost absent. What should I do now?

Doctors' responses

Given that you’ve already undergone an ultrasound and hormone tests, which came back normal, and you’ve been on Normens (likely a progestin) for 3 months with little improvement, there are a few directions to consider. It’s possible that you might have a condition like Hypothalamic Amenorrhea, where the hypothalamus in the brain slows or stops releasing hormones that trigger the menstrual cycle. This can be caused by stress, significant changes in weight, excessive exercise, or other lifestyle factors. If this seems relevant, revisiting these factors might help.

Discuss with your provider about alternative treatment plans. Sometimes, a different hormone therapy or adjusting current dosages can be effective. If lifestyle factors were 개선 in the past few months (e.g., diet, exercise routines), seeing if additional adjustments lead to changes might be useful. Also, ensure there’s no other underlying causes like Thyroid disorders or PCOS that could sometimes not show evident on initial tests. Re-assess if your diagnosis might have overlooked these aspects.

Additionally, consider if any recent medications, supplements or changes might affect your menstrual cycle. Keep track of your cycle details - even subtle ones - since these can give valuable insights to your doctor on how to proceed. It may also be beneficial to have a follow-up with a gynecologist or an endocrinologist, as they specialize in this domain. If the condition doesn’t improve under their guidance, they’ll know to pursue more intensive diagnostic approaches. This condition should be monitored closely, as untreated menstrual irregularities can affect your bone health long term due to estrogen deficiency.
