Patient's question:
Last December, my period lasted for about 20 days with irregular bleeding. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was prescribed progesterone for 10 days, which stopped my period. Two days later, it started again, but this time it ended after just three days. Since January 4th, when my period ended, it hasn't returned yet. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for another check-up, and the doctor prescribed another 10 days of progesterone. Just now, I read your response and would like to ask: Is it necessary for me to take progesterone? Will taking progesterone accelerate ovarian economic decline?Doctor's answer:
Endocrine imbalance may lead to irregular menstrual cycles. Undergo an ultrasound examination to check the condition of the endometrium. If the endometrium exceeds approximately 1.0 cm, progesterone can be taken orally to induce menstruation. Conduct a six-hormone level test on the third day of menstruation. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, maintain a regular lifestyle, and always keep a positive mood. Menopause is a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
