Is it okay for a doctor to prescribe progesterone for irregular periods?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation, the doctor prescribed progesterone. After taking it for a few days, my period came. The amount was less than before, and it stopped on the fifth day. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is considered whether the medication has caused a decrease in menstrual flow. Is your menstrual cycle regular? What is the reason for taking progesterone to induce menstruation? It is recommended to take some medication to regulate for a few days, do not have too much mental stress, relax your mood, reduce overtime, and maintain a regular schedule, which is beneficial for the complete recovery of menstruation. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wish you good health. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as paying attention to hygiene during treatment, keeping the private parts clean, avoiding sexual intercourse, and eating less spicy and irritating foods.
