Patient's question:
Hello doctor:I would like to ask again about this progesterone. I have asked before, but I still have some confusion. The key issue is: if I start my period on the 11th, will I not have my period on the 11th if I take progesterone on the 10th? But when I went to the pharmacy today, the doctor said this medication is not used to delay menstruation, but to regulate it. I'm a bit confused? Could you please explain more about progesterone?
The doctor said there is no medication to delay menstruation. When I asked you last time, you said it was possible, so I'm a bit lost?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, progesterone is available in 2mg tablets. If it is used to induce menstruation, the dosage should not be too high. In fact, taking progesterone once or twice is not much of a concern; the key is the dosage. Only a doctor knows the appropriate amount to take. If you have purchased progesterone to take at home, you should only take a small amount. It is better to be less than more.Irregular menstruation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
