Question over 5 years ago

How does Cygest work?

Dr Anjum Mujawar MBBS, MBBS , Emergency Medicine

Cygest helps in regulating the menstrual cycle. It prepares the uterus for pregnancy. After ovulation every month, it thickens the uterine wall to prepare to receive the fertilized egg, however, if there is no fertilization, the levels of progesterone drop and menstruation begins. In case of fertilization the fertilized egg implants in the uterine wall, progesterone helps maintain the thickness of the uterine wall throughout the duration of pregnancy.

Does Cygest cause nausea?

Dr. Joydeep Sarkar MBBS , Internal Medicine

Yes, Cygest can cause nausea. Initially, even low doses can account for morning sickness during early pregnancy. During an early pregnancy, the progesterone levels are higher which might relax the uterus, stomach, and intestines, causing the excess accumulation of gastric acids and increase the incidences of acid reflux.
