What Are the Methods to Delay Menstruation?

Menstruation refers to menstruation. Generally, menstruation is delayed through oral medication. Commonly used drugs include contraceptives, progesterone drugs, gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues, but they need to be used under the guidance of a doctor. Here are the details:

Contraceptives usually contain synthetic estrogens and progesterone. After taking them, they may lead to further proliferation of the endometrial lining, and usually there will be no endometrial shedding in a short period of time. Therefore, women can take these drugs to delay menstruation. Commonly used drugs include drospirenone and ethinylestradiol tablets, compound norethindrone tablets, and megestrol acetate tablets.

Progesterone drugs such as progesterone capsules, medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets, and cinolactone acetate tablets belong to progesterone drugs. After taking them, they may lead to changes in hormones in the body, usually resulting in thickening of the endometrial lining and prolongation of the menstrual cycle, thus achieving the purpose of delaying menstruation.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues include leuprolide acetate sustained-release injection, triptorelin acetate injection, and leuprolide acetate microsphere for injection. These drugs may inhibit glandular secretion and affect the endocrine system of the body, thus playing a role in delaying menstruation.

During medication, it is also necessary to closely monitor your condition, take good daily care, and develop good living habits. However, without special reasons, it is generally not recommended to delay menstruation, as it may lead to endocrine abnormalities and is not conducive to physical health.
