Understanding the role of progestogens in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is crucial for women's health, especially for those who haven't undergone a hysterectomy. 🩺✨

Progestogens are essential for protecting the endometrium when estrogen is administered. This post dives into the various types of progestogens, their methods of administration, and potential side effects that range from mild to debilitating, which may lead some women to discontinue their treatment.

It's vital to consider long-term safety as well, including the potential risks associated with breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, venous thromboembolism, and dementia. Individualised patient counselling is key!

While progestogens play a critical role in ensuring endometrial health, ongoing research is necessary to further understand their long-term effects.

Stay informed and proactive about your health! 💪🌸
