Progesterone Vaginal Pessary

Product Introduction

Progesterone pessaries/suppository are used to restore menstrual cycles in women whose periods have stopped. As a natural female hormone, it plays a crucial role in regulating ovulation (the release of an egg from a woman’s ovary) and menstruation. These pessaries are also used in the treatment of infertility to help women achieve pregnancy.

You should use progesterone pessaries exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use more or less than advised, and do not extend the usage beyond the recommended period. Your doctor may instruct you to continue using this medicine even after pregnancy is confirmed.

Side Effects

Using this medicine may cause side effects such as vaginal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and itching. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor. In rare cases, a severe allergic reaction may occur, requiring urgent medical attention.

Progesterone pessaries may not be suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have, or have had, breast cancer, unusual vaginal bleeding, or liver disease. You may need closer monitoring if you have liver, kidney, or heart problems, diabetes, or asthma. Ensure your doctor is aware of your full medical history and any other medications you are taking, as these may interact with the treatment. It is generally advisable to avoid using other vaginal products or creams while using this medicine.

Benefits of vaginal Progesterone suppository

In Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps relieve symptoms of menopause, such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive. Since menopause can last for several years, HRT can significantly improve daily life and mood.

Progesterone is one of two key hormones (the other being estrogen) used in this treatment. However, it may not address all symptoms, so consult your doctor. Use this medicine as prescribed and for the duration recommended by your doctor.

In Treatment of Female Infertility

Progesterone pessaries contain progesterone, a hormone essential for regulating ovulation and menstruation. These pessaries help trigger menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not menstruating due to a lack of natural progesterone.

This medicine prepares the uterus for pregnancy by thickening the uterine lining (endometrium), increasing the likelihood of a successful pregnancy. For the treatment to be effective, use it as prescribed, and you may need to continue it after becoming pregnant.

Side Effects of Vaginal Progesterone suppository

Most side effects do not require medical attention and usually subside as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or if you are concerned about them.

How Progesterone suppositories Work

Progesterone pessaries contain progesterone, a female hormone that helps establish and maintain pregnancy. They also prevent the thickening of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) caused by estrogen.
