Duphaston is a synthetic analogue of the female sex hormone progesterone. Natural progesterone is synthesized by the ovaries, or more precisely - by the yellow body of the ovaries . This hormone provides the second phase of the menstrual cycle, and during pregnancy - support for its normal course.
With a lack of natural progesterone, a woman is prescribed Dufaston. He, being a hormonal drug of a new generation, does not cause those negative consequences that were encountered when taking his earlier analogues - excessive hair, acne, and so on.
Dyufaston is prescribed in cases of habitual miscarriages and miscarriages, in the treatment of endometriosis , in menstruation disorders, painful and irregular monthly, with dysfunctional bleeding in different periods of life.
In a number of cases, patients report a scanty month after receiving Dufaston. Like any other hormonal drug, it causes various changes in the functioning of the body. Including when taking Dufaston, there are changes in the nature of menstruation.
It should be understood that the drug should be taken strictly according to the scheme prescribed by the doctor. Otherwise, if you miss receptions or change the dosage, you are threatened by imbalance of the menstrual cycle. It will be very difficult to restore the balance, and this process will take a lot of time.
Monthly on a background of Dufaston can have the character of smearing brownish discharge. Their duration may be shortened. Sometimes spotting is observed a couple of days before the onset of the true menstrual period.
By the way, a scanty period can be associated with a thin layer of the epithelium of the uterus, because rejecting, this epithelium appears in the form of menstruation. Accordingly, menstruation has a meager character, and this may not be related to Dufaston's treatment.
