First of all let me congratulate you on this wonderful online service you are offering people like me. I thank you for giving of your knowledge so freely.
About 1 year ago I suffrered with (D.U.B.) dysfunctional uterine bleeding . My doctor recommended "Climen" for 4 mths and it did indeed work well for 4 mths. My irregular period returned 2 mths ago . It`s now 5 days late . In addition to this I have been experiencing for 2 mths now - menstrual acne. As soon as my menstrual cycle has ended , my skin clears up. This is very annoying though because when teh acne starts , it`s bad.
My question is , do you think that I should start the "climen" again? and will this medicine take care of my acne problem as well?
Anxiously awaiting a response,
Concerned .

If you are still in your teenage years, or in your mid-forties plus this will affect the regularity of your period anyway because your hormones are all over the place. This can also be affected by all sorts of things such as stress, anxiety and sexual activity. Acne is also a symptom of the menstrual cycle, particularly in teenagers. I think if you believe the medication will help this problem, then you should go back to your doctor and ask him/her for help. [ endilwen's advice column | Ask endilwen A Question ]
