Progeston therapy for menstrually related aphthae.
Ten female patients with a history of recurrent aphthous lesions for at least 5 years with the lesions occurring regularly in the latter half at the menstrual cycle were treated with progestogen in the form of an intramuscular depot injection. Medroxyprogesterone acetate and gestronol hexanoate was used. All 10 patients were satisfied with the treatment; the side effects were few.
