the Effects of Ismoprost and Fuyan Pills on Menstrual Cycle and Pregnancy Risks - Obstetrics and Gynecology

Ishimom membrane-coated tablets and Women's Peace tablets?


Hello, doctor.
Previously, I went to the hospital due to irregular menstruation that wouldn't stop, so the doctor prescribed me ten days' worth of Estrogen and Progestin combination pills and a medication called Fu'an tablet for treatment, stating that my menstruation would reset after finishing the course.
I would like to know if my period will come immediately after finishing the medication or if I need to wait a few days.
Additionally, I would like to inquire whether this medication has contraceptive effects or if it increases or decreases the likelihood of pregnancy.
I have been taking the medication for eight days, and today during intercourse, the condom accidentally slipped off to the head of the penis (but did not come off completely).
Afterward, I put it back on.
Is there a high chance of pregnancy? Thank you, doctor.

Dr. Zhang Kunmin reply Obstetrics and Gynecology


Hello, based on your description, the menstrual regulation medication you are taking does not have contraceptive effects.
Additionally, the failure rate of condoms as a contraceptive method is over 5%, making it less reliable compared to other methods.
Generally, it is not recommended to rely solely on condoms for contraception.
Therefore, if your period is more than a week late, it is advisable to check for pregnancy.
Thank you! Wishing you peace and health.

When considering the effects of medications like Ismoprost (Estromon) and Fuyan Pills on menstrual cycles and pregnancy risks, it is essential to understand how these drugs function and their implications for reproductive health.
Ismoprost, a form of estrogen, is often prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles, especially in cases of hormonal imbalance. It works by mimicking the effects of estrogen in the body, which can help to "reset" the menstrual cycle, as you mentioned. After completing a course of Ismoprost, it is common for patients to experience a menstrual period shortly thereafter. However, the timing can vary from person to person. Some may find that their period arrives within a few days after finishing the medication, while others may need to wait longer. It is not unusual for the body to take some time to adjust, especially if there have been previous irregularities.

Regarding the use of Fuyan Pills, which are often used for various gynecological conditions, it is crucial to note that these medications do not serve as contraceptives. They are not designed to prevent pregnancy but rather to address specific health issues. Therefore, if you are actively trying to avoid pregnancy, it is essential to use reliable contraceptive methods consistently.
In your situation, where there was a mishap with the condom during intercourse, it is understandable to be concerned about the possibility of pregnancy. While the condom did not fully come off, any exposure during the act can lead to a risk of pregnancy, especially if ejaculation occurred near the vaginal opening. Given that you have been taking Ismoprost, which can influence your menstrual cycle, it is advisable to monitor your cycle closely. If your period does not arrive as expected, or if you experience any unusual symptoms, consider taking a pregnancy test for reassurance.

In terms of hormonal medications and their impact on fertility, it is generally accepted that such treatments can help regulate cycles and may improve the chances of conception in women with irregular periods. However, they do not inherently increase or decrease the likelihood of pregnancy unless there are underlying fertility issues that they are addressing.
If you have concerns about your menstrual cycle, the effectiveness of your contraceptive methods, or the implications of the medications you are taking, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current health status.
In summary, after completing a course of Ismoprost, you may expect your period to arrive within a few days to a week, but individual responses can vary. The medications you are taking do not provide contraceptive protection, so if there was a condom mishap, there is a potential risk of pregnancy. Monitoring your cycle and consulting with your doctor for further guidance is the best course of action.
