Might a shot of progestogen help ease the symptoms of menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Estrogen & menopause: As Progesterone has some properties similar to estrogen, Estradiol is the most important hormone in relief of hot flushes. I would not expect much from a Progesterone injection, even less from Progesterone applied to the skin.
