Hello doctor, I have irregular periods, can I continue taking progesterone?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have irregular periods and am currently taking progesterone. But I have already started my period now, and the amount is not too much. Can I continue taking progesterone?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many reasons for menstrual disorders. Clinically, they are usually divided into two major categories: one is functional, such as menstrual disorders caused by endocrine dysfunction; the other is organic, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis, among other conditions, which can also cause menstrual disorders. To treat menstrual disorders, it is first necessary to undergo an ultrasound and sex hormone six-item examination to identify the specific cause. Treatment should then target the primary disease, and appropriate regulation of menstrual herbs can be supplemented.
