Patient's question:
I was supposed to get my period on the 10th, but now it's almost the end of the month, and I still haven't gotten my period. I've heard from others that this can easily lead to amenorrhea, and I'm quite annoyed about it myself. Later, a friend suggested that I could take progesterone capsules to induce my period, but I haven't taken this before, so I guess I should understand a bit more about how to take progesterone capsules for amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation has been delayed for more than ten days. If there has been no sexual activity, progesterone capsules can be taken to induce menstruation and treat the condition. Progesterone capsules can be taken continuously for five days. Generally, menstruation may occur three to seven days after stopping the medication. If menstruation does not occur after one week of stopping the medication, it is necessary to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination. It may be necessary to add estrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a relaxed mood. Only a positive attitude and adequate sleep can help you recover quickly from the illness.
