Is Duphaston Suitable For Treating Micro Polycystic Ovary, Irregular Bleeding, And Higher LH Levels?

Hi, in pelvic ultrasound i got micro polycystic left ovary. However i never missed my period till now. Yes some time it took 42 days to come but i had periods every month. My problem is bleeding flow is reduced and also i felt colour change. In that case my Doctor suggest me duphaston form day 16 to day 25 for 6 cycles. I got my blood test my LH value is higher than my fsh. I am taking correct medicine? I am married but i am on study leave not with my husband so atleast till that time i have to maintain my period cycle. So is it normal

Hello,

PCOD is a common issue. Cyclical progesterone can help reduce the effect of unopposed estrogen on the uterine lining which is helpful in the long run. Before resorting to hormonal therapy you may also try other non pharmaceutical ways to manage the condition. If your weight is on the higher side loosing a few pounds itself will help regularize the cycle.

Even if your weight is normal regular exercise can greatly help in regularizing the hormonal imbalance. Healthy eating habits, yoga, good sleep and a stress free life can have a positive influence. If contraception is desired you may switch to OCPs, if there are no contraindications (after meeting your healthcare provider). You can also rule out other factors that causes PCOD by doing the following blood investigations - TSH, Prolactin

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
