  4. Health Queries for Progynova 2 mg Tablet 28's

  5. I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure in 2008 and have been on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) since then. In April 2015, I developed neurological problems with muscle spasms, which were detected on an MRI of the spine. Around the same time, I also had UTI and herpes mononucleosis. I was given amikacin injections, after which my right hip and thigh became numb, and I was later diagnosed with meralgia paresthetica, which improved with pregabalin 75 mg. Currently, I am taking Progynova 2 mg for 21 days and Meprate 10 mg for the last 10 days as advised by my gynaecologist. Should I continue the same HRT regimen, and do I need pregabalin or any other medication for my current back pressure and cramps?

Since you have a long history of premature ovarian failure and are on HRT, it is important to continue your prescribed HRT unless your gynaecologist advises a change, as it helps manage hormone levels. For your current back pressure and muscle cramps, medications like pregabalin can help if nerve-related pain persists, but the exact dose or need should be confirmed by your neurologist or gynaecologist. You may also benefit from gentle stretching, physiotherapy, and posture support. It is best to review both your HRT and pain medications with your doctors to ensure safe and effective management.
