Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain. It's especially bad during my period, and I'm very worried it might affect my fertility. Also, I'm extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Why is it that when my period is delayed, I need to be injected with progesterone for it to come?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, in general, it is common to use progesterone 20 mg once a day for 3 consecutive days, and menstruation usually occurs 3-5 days after stopping use. After taking progesterone, if menstruation occurs, it indicates a deficiency of progesterone, and you can continue using it; if menstruation does not occur, it may be due to other causes of amenorrhea, including mental stress, weight loss, excessive exercise, pituitary tumors, premature ovarian failure, endometrial damage, etc., which require further examination and treatment.
