A member asked:
Does long term use of estrogen and progesterone lower risk for uterine cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When combined: It will lower risk if combined in an hormone replacement therapy(HRT) for applicable patients. Estrogen used alone for (HRT) in women who still have a uterus present can increase their risk of uterine cancer.(endometrial) when progesterone is not used.
