Uses of Dimple Injection

Benefits of Dimple Injection

In Treatment of Abnormal uterine bleeding

Dimple Contraceptive Injection is a synthetic progestin that replicates the effect of a natural female hormone called progesterone. It slows the growth of the lining of the womb before menstruation, which reduces the bleeding during menstruation. If heavy periods become such a problem that they interfere with your everyday life, then try taking things a little easier on those days. Some women find that relaxation techniques or yoga help them feel more relaxed and reduce stress. Getting a lot of exercise can also help.

In Treatment of Endometriosis

Dimple Contraceptive Injection contains progesterone, a female hormone that is important in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to a lack of natural progesterone in the body. You should use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective. Avoid any stress and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Improving weight and nutrition may be recommended in females with eating disorders or malnutrition to get the maximum benefit from Dimple Contraceptive Injection.

How Dimple Injection works

Dimple Contraceptive Injection is a progestin (female hormone). It works by preventing an egg from developing fully and being released from the ovaries during your menstrual cycle. It also alters the lining of your womb and thickens the mucus at the entrance of the womb, making it more difficult for the sperm to enter. This prevents pregnancy.

Don't take dimple carbohydrates and sugar. Restrict your calories. Take diet rich in protein. You need to get your PCOD profile done on the 2nd day of your cycle and then take treatment accordingly

Dr. Suman Rao

Obstetrics and Gynaecology

This can be because of hormonal imbalance. Get your hormones checked on 2nd day of your cycle. Consult a Gynae nearby

Mild Bleeding without menstruation. This is happening from last one week. There is mild pain also. I have consulted a local gynaecologist she told that it is bcoz of weakness. Plz suggest the reason and proper medicine for this

Dr. Megha Gupta

Please get a thyroid profile as well as ultrasound done to see what is going on. There is nothing like abnormal bleeding due to weakness. Abnormal bleeding is mostly due to hormonal issues.
