1. What is menstruation?

Menstruation is a phenomenon of peeling of the lining of the uterus with cycles due to endometrial changes that cause bleeding from the uterus chamber to the outside of the vagina. Each person's menstruation usually has a cycle, the average menstrual cycle is 28 days.

2. Is there an active way to delay menstruation?

Menstrual deferred medications may be used to postpone menstruation. Menstrual delay drug is a drug with the composition of the hormone progesteron.

The mechanism by which progesteron-containing drugs work to slow menstruation because during a normal menstrual cycle, the first half of the cycle will be affected by the hormone Estrogen to stimulate the growth of the lining of the uterus but the second half of the period is affected by a hormone called Progesterone and this is also the reason why doctors choose Progesteron without Estrogen. In the last days of the cycle the amount of Progesterone declines resulting in the lining of the uterus peeling off, creating menstrual bleeding. Using menstrual deferred drugs containing the hormone Progesterone will make the lining of the uterus unable to peel off, thereby giving the effect of delaying menstruation.
