Irregular Periods. Prescribed Yamini Tablet For 3 Months. Safe?
Hi, I am 25 yrs old and married from last 1 year.
Recently I had a problem of irregular periods. So, my doc suggested me to have Yamini tablet for 3 months along with Carrac (multi-vitamins tablet) to have regular mensace and reduce weight.
I have already finished my 2 months course and have reduce almost 3kgs weight.
But, before starting the 3rd course I wanted to know that having Yamini for so long is safe?
Since, I want to start family planning after this.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yamini is a combination of drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. It is mainly used for contraception. Most oral contraceptives also help regularise the menstrual cycle.
Some persons use oral contraceptives such as yamini for years with no complications so you are unlikely to experience any complications using it for the 3 month period.
Its use will not affect your future fertility when you discontinue it.
You are right in saying that in some women weight loss can help with regularising the period. This mainly occurs in women with a condition called PCOS which stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome. This is diagnosed if at least 2 of the following are present: (1) delayed or irregular periods (2) cysts on the ovaries on ultrasound (3) signs of increased levels of male hormones- acne, hair growth on the face/chest
It is treated by weight loss and in some cases mediation such as metformin.
If these are not helpful then medication to help with the release of the egg is given.
I hope this helps
