Patient's question:
Patient Age: Can women with menstrual disorders take progesterone?Previous Treatment and Effect: I have had many cases of menstrual disorders in the past. After undergoing various examinations, the doctor apparently gave me an injection of progesterone, and I recovered quickly. Now, my menstrual disorder has returned again.
Desired Help: If it can be taken, is this medication available at pharmacies? What is the dosage?
Doctor's answer:
Progesterone is available in injectable form as well as oral tablets. Progesterone is a hormone medication that is effective for menstrual disorders caused by endocrine disorders, but it has significant side effects. For your condition, it is recommended to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for an examination, specifically the six sex hormone tests, to determine if it is an endocrine disorder. If it is an endocrine issue, Western medicine uses hormone progesterone for treatment, which has significant side effects. It is better to consult a traditional Chinese medicine gynecologist for syndrome differentiation treatment and herbal regulation. You can also take Wuji Baifeng pills and Xiaoyao pills regularly.
