What Causes Absence Of Bleeding After Taking Meprate?
Brief Answer:
other conditions should be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Usually one gets withdrawal bleeding within7-10 days of stopping the meprate. However, sometimes it gets delayed upto 14 days.
I would like to know whether you are sexually active or not, as pregnancy needs to be ruled out.
If there is no chance of pregnancy, then other hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism and hyperprolactemia should be tested for, as they also cause delayed response to meprate.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back to me with the information, if feasible.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr Deepti Verma
