Suggest Treatment For Endometrial Hyperplasia

I have had amenorrhea for about 4 months and my doctor did a scan which showed endometrial thickening. He decided to run some tests and also gave me primolut n 1 three times a day for 21 days. Is this duration too long or do I take the drug for less than 21 days?

Hi.

No, it has to be taken for 3/4 th of the duration of a normal menstrual cycle (assumed to be 28 days). So you will have to take the pill for 21 days and not lesser.

Best wishes.
