A member asked:
Treatment for thickened endometrial lining. if adjust hrt to increase progesterone, how likely are side effects hair loss, weight gain & depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Progesterone use: Progesterone is required to oppose the estrogen in Estrogen Replacement Therapy(ERT). the number one problem when it is not used by Rx is the one you already have had-thickening of the endometrium which can lead to endometrial cancer. Often it is used for just a few days of the HRT regimen and the side effects you mentioned are often minimal to non-existent in those circumstances.
