A member asked:
What is the use of progestin pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many uses: Too many to list here, but usually progestin pills are used in women to start a late period. They can also be used to stop irregular prolonged bleeding (sounds contradictory, i know.) there are other uses but it gets very specific.
