Description:
Combined progesterone and estrogen therapy is used in menopausal hormone therapy (HT) for women who still have a uterus. Estrogen helps relieve symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, while progesterone protects the uterus from endometrial hyperplasia (abnormal lining growth) and reduces the risk of endometrial cancer.
This combination can be taken as pills, patches, or IUDs and helps balance hormone levels while managing menopause symptoms safely.
Hormone therapy has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, cardiovascular and venous thromboembolism
