Will A Petogen Injection Possibly Stop Continuous Bleeding?
Hi. I started nur isterate August 2015. I was changed to petogen in December 2015 because I complained about continuous bleeding. This only made things worse and I am still bleeding. Is it possible to stop the bleeding by going on the pill now or do I have to first wait for the petogen to wear-off before before changing. Is it safe to have both in my system. If the pill can help which should I go on?

Warm Welcome. I appreciate your trust in HCM and assure you are on best portal on the globe for expert online medical services.
I have thoroughly reviewed health query you raised, and well realize all of those concerns. Being your physician, I will take care all of them today and will extend my expertise to solve the problems.
Although Petogen depo shot is effective for patients with heavy periods, it can take a while to show its effect. It will improve with less or no periods at all in coming months. Till then, there are few ways to control your current periods.
If I were your treating physician, I would advise you:
• Instead of combined pill, take Tab. Premarin (estrogen only pill) once daily for 7 days. It will help in blood clotting and improve vascular supply to uterine lining.
• Cap. Tranexamic acid 500mg three times daily for 3-4 days. It will actively stop bleeding.
• Tab. Ponstan (mefenamic acid) for 3-4 days. It is also help in stopping heavy bleeding.
• Iron supplements for compensation of blood loss.
You may consult your gynaecologist about what to do if you experience heavy bleeding again in future.
Hope I addressed all the concerns you have. Let me know if you have further questions. I will be more than happy to clear any doubts. Keep a follow up to see how you doing.
