Progesterone

Menopause

Added to estrogen-based HRT for women with intact uterus to prevent endometrial cancer.

Micronized progesterone (Prometrium) is preferred over synthetic progestins (medroxyprogesterone) — better mood profile, lower breast cancer signal. Taken nightly (sedating). Not needed for women who've had hysterectomy.
