Hello doctors..is there any risk if taking defaston every month to regain my period once again ..it is coming now every 2 to 3 months ..i am near menpause?

This is a reasonable: step to take, the progestin medication is very useful this way. This will keep the uterine lining thinner, by shedding as needed.
