1, the principle of progesterone to promote menstruation
Doctors often prescribe progesterone capsules when women's menstruation is delayed or they don't come. The main component of progesterone capsules is progesterone. After Huang Tongtong eats it, she can go through hypothalamic negative feedback, inhibit the front page of pituitary gland and promote the release of luteinizing hormone, so that follicles can't be released normally, and the endometrial mucosa is thickened, and then suddenly stop taking medicine, which will lead to a sudden decrease in the amount of progesterone hormones in the body, leading to the shedding of uterine mucosa and follicles, thus achieving the effect of artificial menstruation.
2. How long does it take to take progesterone for menstruation?
Generally, you only need to take progesterone for 3 days, and menstruation will come within 1~2 days after stopping taking the drug. Progesterone belongs to hormone drugs and cannot be eaten for a long time or in large quantities, and this kind of hormone is only effective for irregular menstruation caused by endocrine disorders, but has no effect on other factors, so you can't eat it indiscriminately.
3. How much progesterone should I eat?
The daily intake of progesterone is below 12mg.
Usually, progesterone capsules contain 2mg of progesterone each. It is best to take this hormone medicine according to the doctor's advice. If you are at home, take one capsule every time, 2~3 times a day. Don't eat too much, so as to avoid the auxiliary use of hormones.
4. Precautions for taking progesterone
1. Progesterone should be taken continuously, not just for a short time. The effect of taking it once or twice is not obvious. If you take it continuously for 2~3 days, you may come to menstruation if you suddenly stop taking the medicine.
2. When progesterone is used to induce menstruation, it is necessary to stop taking drugs in time after menstruation. This requires that hormone drugs cannot be calculated by the course of treatment, and they cannot be eaten after reaching the goal.
3. Progesterone is a hormone drug, so you can't eat too much. Eating too much of this drug may cause obesity.
5, the role of progesterone
① In the late menstrual cycle, the glands in the uterine mucosa grow, the uterus is congested and the endometrium thickens, so as to prepare for the implantation of fertilized eggs. After the fertilized egg is implanted, it will produce placenta, reduce the excitability of pregnant uterus, inhibit its activity and make the fetus grow safely.
(2) under the same action with estrogen * * *, promote the full development of breasts and prepare for milk production.
③ The cervix is closed, the mucus is reduced and thickened, which makes it difficult for sperm to penetrate; In high dose, the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin is inhibited by negative feedback on hypothalamus, which leads to ovulation inhibition. Clinically, it is mainly used for habitual abortion, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia or metrorrhagia, amenorrhea, etc.
