Can you inject progesterone to stop bleeding?

Patient's question:

I've had my period for over 20 days and it hasn't stopped, always bright red. I've taken Gongxuening and hemostatic drugs, but they haven't helped. When I went for a check-up, the ultrasound showed nothing wrong. The doctor suggested taking medication to stop the bleeding, but nothing has worked. Can I be given a progesterone injection to stop the bleeding in this situation?

Doctor's answer:

According to the medical history, functional uterine bleeding is considered, caused by endocrine disorders. Recommendations: It is recommended to perform a urine pregnancy test. If it is negative, it may be menstrual disorders, and Medroxyprogesterone (Duphaston) can be taken to regulate the menstrual cycle and stop bleeding. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for regulation.
