If taking dydrogesterone tablets causes excessive menstrual flow or prolonged menstruation, you should seek medical attention promptly for evaluation and appropriate treatment. Dydrogesterone is a progestin medication, and breakthrough bleeding may occur after discontinuation. However, the bleeding duration might be longer than usual, so careful observation is necessary. Progestin medications should always be taken under a doctor's guidance. After stopping the medication, breakthrough bleeding may happen and last longer than a normal period, so close monitoring is important to avoid potential harm to the body. During treatment, pay attention to your diet: avoid spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fruits and vegetables.
