How old are you? May I know what was the reason why your doctor prescribed provera?

Provera or Medroxyprogesterone is used to promote menstruation when women do not begin naturally to menstruate at puberty (called primary amenorrhea) or if they stop menstruating before menopause (called secondary amenorrhea). Medroxyprogesterone also is used for treating abnormal bleeding from the uterus in many situations, though only after attempts to determine the cause of bleeding have been made. It is not used to treat bleeding due to fibroids, tumors, or other correctable causes of bleeding. Medroxyprogesterone is used in combination with estrogens for treating symptoms of menopause in order to prevent unchecked growth of the endometrium that may lead to endometrial cancer. It also is used for treating the pain of endometriosis.
