Patient's question:
I am 36 years old and have been trying to conceive my second child for nine months.Doctor's answer:
The pseudopregnancy therapy involves the use of potent progestogen contraceptives, administered in higher doses continuously over a long period, to stop menstruation. Under the influence of the medication, the endometrium and ectopic endometrium exhibit a response similar to pregnancy, hence the name "pseudopregnancy therapy." There are many drugs used for this therapy, and it is still under development. The oral medications include Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, Promethazine, and Norethisterone, while the injectable medication is Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate. This therapy must be maintained for at least six months to stop the activity of ectopic endometrium, leading to its eventual atrophy and thus achieving therapeutic effects.
