Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can taking progesterone cause stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
Taking progesterone will not cause stomach pain. Progesterone is a type of gestogen that can promote the maturation and shedding of the endometrium to form menstruation. Under normal circumstances, taking the medication for 7 days followed by a 7-day break can result in withdrawal bleeding, which is essentially artificial menstruation. Taking progesterone will not cause abdominal pain. If abdominal pain occurs, it is not directly related to the medication. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a clear diagnosis. The symptoms may be caused by gynecological inflammatory diseases such as vaginitis or cervical erosion. It is important to promptly consider a gynecological examination at the hospital, undergo an ultrasound of the uterine appendages, a routine examination of vaginal discharge, and a cervical examination. Based on the results, the doctor can provide appropriate and active treatment under guidance. Pay attention to hygiene, and avoid sexual activity during treatment.
