Many problems with women's health, having a hormonal nature, are treated with the drug "Dyufaston".Since the appearance of it, he has established himself well, so it is appointed by specialists often. But not always the effect of its application is as expected. Some patients notice that they do not have a period after djufaston. There are also unexplained changes in the characteristics of critical days. How to solve these problems, and for what reasons are failures?
When and to whom the drug is prescribed
Clarify whenshould take djufaston, help to know the composition. Its main component is dydrogesterone, that is, a synthetic analogue of a woman actively produced by the body in the second phase of the progesterone cycle.
The agent has the same effect as the natural hormone, therefore it is used in the complex treatment of the following pathologies:- abnormal ovarian function;
- severe manifestations of PMS;
- endometriosis;
- disorders of menstrual function, giving themselves out as frequent monthly or, on the contrary, too prolonged a cycle;
- to restore the balance of hormones in preparation for pregnancy, if previously there were miscarriages;
- in the therapy of uterine bleeding, which are caused by an imbalance of estrogens and gestagens;
- for the maintenance of pregnancy, when there is a threat of its premature cessation;
- for correcting the hormonal status of women in menopause in order to reduce the intensity of tides and other negative manifestations;
- infertility caused by gestagenic insufficiency.
Dufaston will be useful in each of these conditions if they are pushed by a deficiency of progesterone. In cases where the same problems appear for other reasons, treatment should be different. Therefore, do not prescribe the drug yourself, without examination.
Cycle changes after taking
Like all hormones, dyufastone has a strong effect. At the same time, and the own balance of substances in women can be unpredictably changed. You can not discount the side effects, as well as the individual reaction of the body to the drug. There are other reasons why, instead of normalizing the functions of the reproductive system, difficulties may appear.
Absence of menstruation on time
Delay of menstruation after duftaston is the most frequent problem, it is the one that causes the most anxiety. After all, the clarity of the arrival of menstruation is one of the most important signs of women's health. And the absence of the beginning of critical days in due time can have many undesirable explanations. It is very important to find out why such a failure has occurred, further tactics of treatment depend on this. To be engaged in diagnostics in most cases should professionals.
But sometimes the absence of menstruation is not a pathological manifestation, but just a small hitch. In most cases, after dyufastone cancellation, menstruation starts on the following day, in others they come in 3 to 4 days or in general after a week. All this is considered as a norm. If during the specified time menstruation is not present, it is not necessary to worry. Experiences can increase the waiting period.
In the case where the longer term after dufaston is not monthly, the reasons may be more serious than a simple hitch:
| Cause | Why it happens |
| Pregnancy | Therapy of female ailments does not always require the abandonment of sexual activity. And the restoration of hormonal balance, which occurred due to the use of Dufaston, can contribute to conception. Therefore, when the lag is delayed after completion of its admission, it is necessary to be checked for pregnancy. The easiest way to do the analysis is by a home test, and if the results are doubtful, donate blood to HCG in the clinic. |
| Hormonal disorder | When there are two circumstances at once - after receiving dyufastone there are no monthly ones, the test is negative, possibly, the balance of substances is lost. And now a woman has a lowered level of estrogen, which also does not contribute to the arrival of menstruation on time. This problem can be detected with the help of research on hormones. |
| Ovulation lag | Similar it is possible for absolutely healthy individuals. And with gynecological diseases, the more likely it is. This kind of failure will lead to an increase in the level of progesterone, which will not allow the uterine mucosa to update in time. In fact, in these circumstances, the luteal phase will lengthen. |
| Problems in the functions of hormone-producing organs | Adrenals, thyroid and ovaries may respond to the drug in an unpredictable manner. The complaint that after dufaston did not come monthly, sometimes causes a malfunction in the work of any of the listed organs. Therefore, to identify the reasons, you may need ultrasound of the ovaries, adrenal glands or thyroid gland. |
Any of the causes( except for pregnancy) can manifest itself as a side reaction and with the correct application of the medicine as directed by a specialist. But more often this is observed when he was recommended without grounds, or the woman began to take pills on her own initiative. It is easy to make mistakes not only in the choice of the drug itself, but also in dosage, as well as in the time of reception.
Duphaston has contraindications that can not be ignored. This liver failure, poor blood coagulability, too young. If you take pills with these problems, you can not rule out difficulties with menstruation, one of which is a long-term delay.
Earlier arrival of monthly
Difficulty in the implementation of menstrual function due to dufaston may have a different character. In some women, after taking the pills, monthly ones come before the calendar period. The culprits of their shift are:
- Individual reaction of the reproductive system. With proper administration of the drug and without unauthorized changes in the dose, the timing of its administration may cause bleeding. This is nothing but a side effect, which should convince immediately to go to the doctor.
- Insufficient dose of duphaston. If the concentration of progesterone, despite treatment to them, remains low, critical days will precisely begin earlier. Help to adjust the dose, but only a doctor can do it.
- Invalid time for taking the drug. On what day after dufaston monthly come, depends on the scheme used. It is drunk in the second phase of the cycle, but it can have different lengths. Inaccuracy and causes the early onset of menstruation.
Painful and profuse monthly
An important characteristic of the menstruation of a physician is the amount of secretions, their consistency and sensations that occur on critical days. The most frequent change in this part is an abundant period after taking duftaston. In most cases, the manifestation has a non-negative origin. Progesterone leads to a thickening of the endometrium. This property of the drug and is used in maintaining it with the help of pregnancy. But when, in her absence, the mucous uterus is renewed, many tissues are rejected. This is especially noticeable for those who previously did not notice abundant excretions in critical days, and also after a delay.
There are fears about the fact that after dyufaston a long period of time. In this case, the matter may also be in their number. If there are a lot of excretions, it takes time for the uterus to be released from them.
But both signs may be signals that:
- preparation has a side effect on the body, which is expressed by bleeding;
- , he did not provide the proper effect, as is the case with endometriosis, and you need a different treatment.
Torment and fear cause painful periods after djufaston. And here there are options for explaining why this is possible. Sometimes you should not blame the drug. It is capable of provoking skin reactions, bleeding, nausea, irritability, migraine-like reaction, but no pain among side effects. The reason may rather be a malaise, which is treated with dyufaston.

When it's time to see a doctor
Not every incomprehensible manifestation after the completion of "Dufaston" intake requires the intervention of the treating doctor. Sometimes you just have to calm down, and everything gets better.
A visit to a specialist is compulsory, if noted:
- The absence of a month longer than a week, and the pregnancy test does not show an increase in hCG. It is necessary to find out the reason for such a combination, it may be necessary to take additional measures. The most hurry menstruation can not.
- Long monthly, going over a week abundantly, with pain and clots. It is possible that this bleeding, which must be stopped. Or the treatment is not chosen correctly, which will require its correction, possibly additional tests.
- General deterioration of state of health. Skin rashes, headache, depression, sometimes arising as side reactions, force the replacement of the drug with an analog.
- Spotting in the menopause. At this time, they should not be at all, and the appearance can say the body's rejection of the drug or the arisen gynecological problem.
- The arrival of monthly in the midst of taking the drug. You always need to know why this happened.
- Absence of menstruation in a two-strip test. What to do if after dyufastone is not monthly because of pregnancy, it is necessary to solve the gynecologist. The drug is prescribed and in this condition, but not all. If you abruptly stop taking it, pregnancy may be in jeopardy. The doctor will tell you how to gradually lower the dose. Or will recommend to drink djufaston and further under the certain scheme or plan.
Many women, knowing that the drug is prescribed and pregnant, are not afraid to take it yourself. This erroneous confidence in its safety for unauthorized use can be costly. Dyufaston will save, if there are reasons for taking it, the dosage is adjusted, there are no contraindications. But if you drink it on your own initiative, ignore the emerging negative reactions, do not be surprised by health problems.
