Abstract:

To study the role of progesterone in the treatment of amenorrhoea and as a contraceptive. 120 females having secondary amenorrhoea were treated with 100 mg of progesterone each. In the second groups of 120 female giving normal menstrual cycle were also given a dose of 100 mg of progesterone. Out of 120 amenorrhoeic patients, progesterone in a dose of 100 mg induced menstruation in 85(70.8%) cases. The same dose of the hormone on the other hand prevented fertility in the group contraception was required. Hence, we suggest therapy of progesterone with normal level of estradiol and in the first attempt before histopathological examination of uterus for group A and low dose of the drug for group B of fertile women.
