Patient: Premature ovarian failure, menstruation does not come after taking hormones, earliest onset in 2006. Previous treatment: I took hormones intermittently, last year I took 9 months of herbal medicine and 10 months of Clomid, 5 months of Clomid, 2 months of stopping and 5 months of continuing. What is the best way to take Clomid? Is it possible to take and stop taking it? Endocrine blood measurement: FSH 70IU/L, LH 43.8IU/L, E241.3Pmol/L, PROG 0.7nmol/L, TESTO 0.6nmol/L, PRL 5.3 ng/ml Last seen: February 19, 2010 The local doctor said that I am already menopausal and my ovaries have shrunken. What is the best way to take Clomid? Should I take it continuously or stop taking it for a certain period of time? The Department of Gynecology and Secretion of Peking Union Medical College Hospital: If you can get your period on your own, you don’t need to take the medicine. As long as you need to take it, you should keep taking it. Patient: Thank you, doctor! At present, I basically won’t come without medication. The local doctor said my ovaries have shrunken, according to the above ovary size is it shrunken? If I take Clomid for a long time, will it speed up the shrinkage of my ovaries? And is it right to keep taking it without stopping for 2 months? Thank you! Patient: Which drug is best for hormone therapy with fewer side effects? It is difficult to make a decision because local doctors say different things. Beijing Union Medical College Hospital Gynecology and Secretion Department: See the last answer for whether to stop the medicine. I have already atrophied, is there any question of adding or not accelerating? Patient: Thank you, doctor! I am currently taking Clomid, are there any hormonal drugs with relatively less side effects? Beijing Union Hospital Gynecology and Secretion Department: Clomid has very few side effects. Patient: Thank you, doctor!
