Do you have side effects of progesterone?

Patient's question:

Gender: Female
Age: Under 27
Symptom Description: Doctor, hello! My gynecological inflammation started as a small one in May. I visited a gynecologist about three times, and also took Chinese herbal medicine Gancao. It might be because it wasn't treated thoroughly that it led to other infections? I started feeling lower abdominal fullness and more frequent urination a few days before the 10th of this month, so I went for a check-up on the 10th. The vaginal ultrasound results showed: 16mm pelvic effusion, right adnexa enlarged and blurred, endometrial thickness 12mm, poor; The cervical mucus test results showed: squamous epithelial cells, hydrogen peroxide positive, leukocyte lipase: positive; There was also a routine urine test.

Doctor's answer:

Taking progesterone can cause dizziness, headache, nausea, depression, breast tenderness, etc. Long-term use may lead to endometrial atrophy, reduced menstrual flow, and an increased risk of vaginal yeast infection. It should not be taken orally in patients with liver disease.
