Hello and thankyou for approaching DoctorSpring with your query.
I have gone through your previous consult.
Stopping Cerazette would increase the risk of withdrawal bleeding.
Hence my advise would be to continue taking Meprate till 27th of March, that is your best chance of avoiding a period.
I hope this has helped. Feel free to follow up.
Take care

Hi thanks for the answer. I hope the bleeding stops by the 20th, although it is very light as compared to my regular periods. Also, does increasing the dose of Cerazette (twice a day) helps to stop the spotting/bleeding? Or is it advisable for only women with considerable weight. I am 5'3 and weigh 49.5 kgs.
Hello,
Instead of doubling the dose of Cerazette, my advise would be that its better to use Meprate.
With your weight, one pill a day of Cerazette is fine enough.
I hope this has helped.
Thankyou

Hi Doctor, I wanted to get checked for common STDs and also for HIV and HPV. What tests do I go for ? And how? Please advice. All these tests labs can do a test if i go there right ?
Yes. You can get the labs to do the tests if you reside in India.
You can undergo the following tests:
1. Urine microscopy for Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea.
2. VDRL test to rule out Syphilis.
3. ELISA to rule out HIV.
4. HBSAg test to rule out Hepatitis B.
5. Pap smear. This is to test for HPV. Pap tests, which check the cervix for abnormal cells, are recommended every two years for women between ages 21 and 30.
Thank you.
