Skin issues
My dermatologist recommended a hormone test during my period to investigate my acne issues. However, my period is expected to coincide with my exams, and I was considering delaying it (with pills )due to severe menstrual pain:-(. Will postponing my period affect the test results, or should I schedule the test for my next period instead?

Hormonal tests are done at specific timing of the menstrual cycle. It’s better to take the test without any external pills as they may interfere with the result.
Next Steps
Stick to your primary doctor’s advice
