Hello. I'm an 18 years old girl with acne problems and too frequent menstrual cycle (every 15-19 days) and I've been on a Duphastone treatment for three months. I was taking Duphastone on the 16th day for 10 days every month in order to prevent my period from arriving too early. I noticed big difference with my skin problems - It got way better and my acne, which Is a big problem for me, was decreasing more and more. After these three months, I stopped the medication and my menstrual cycle got to the same point where it was in the beginning, as long as my acne. After a few months, I decided to have Duphastone for another three months and great results showed up again. Now im one month after stopping it again and my acne got worse, because my period came on the 19th day again. My question is - can I continue using Duphastone and for what time it is okay to be used(can it be used continually?). After seeing a few gynecologists and hearing things like - "it's just the age", which obviously doesn't help with my conditions at all, I'm feeling really bad about this whole situation... I feel like something is not okay with my hormones(obviously) and the next thing im going to try is Vitex. I'm having really long and heavy periods, that last one week, and then, after a week and a half, the whole process starts over again. I'm really pissed off but trying to be positive.
P.s. I got my period around 5 years ago
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely yours
- Gery
