Can a period be induced by taking progesterone?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am a patient with an ovarian cyst. Last week, I went for a check-up, and the doctor recommended surgery, but I need to complete my menstrual cycle before the surgery can be performed. Since my menstrual cycle is irregular, the cyst has caused my period to be delayed by about 10 to 20 days each month. I want to have my period earlier to have the surgery sooner. My last menstrual period was on October 26th. Can I receive a luteinizing hormone injection on the 20th to induce menstruation? If not, when can I receive the injection? Urgent, urgent, urgent
Current general condition: Good
Medical history: None

Doctor's answer:

The causes of menstrual disorders can be divided into two major categories:
1. Neuroendocrine dysfunction-induced: Primarily due to instability or defects in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, leading to menstrual disorders.
2. Organic diseases or drug-induced. Clinically, diagnosing neuroendocrine dysfunction-related menstrual disorders requires excluding the above various organic causes.
Only by tonifying the kidneys and nurturing the ovaries simultaneously can the true solution to menstrual disorders be achieved. Dietary options include: Vitamin B6 can help alleviate anxiety and depression; food sources include lean meat, whole grains, and dark green leafy vegetables. Nourishing the ovaries to supplement estrogen in the body can restore normal ovarian function, leading to regular menstruation. I hope my suggestions can be of some help to you. Wishing you early recovery.
