What does it do?

Dienogest is a synthetic progestin-based female hormone ingredient. It is primarily used in medications for menstrual cycle regulation and the treatment of endometriosis. This ingredient influences female reproductive function, helping to balance hormones.

Dienogest binds to progesterone receptors in the body, inhibiting the proliferation of the endometrium. This alleviates pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis and regularly regulates the menstrual cycle. It also suppresses ovulation to maintain hormonal balance.
