(2) If menstruation does not occur after progesterone injection (except for physiological pregnancy, etc.), it means: ① The uterus may be abnormal. ② Insufficient ovarian estrogen secretion causes the endometrium to fail to proliferate and thus cannot shed and bleed. ③ Pseudo-amenorrhea caused by congenital atresia of cervix and vagina. Further examination is needed to determine the exact cause.
