A member asked:
Use .5 mg estrace & 100 mg prometrium for 20 yrs. in post menopause. does it offer protection in preventing uterine cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly: Progesterone use offset the effect of Estrogen in preventing endometrial hyperplasia. If someone is taking Estrogen and has a uterus then they also need to take Progesterone. Combined hormone therapy is not prescribed for the primary prevention of uterine cancer.

Hi there, so if your uterine lining is thick, it doesn't really mean, you have cancer, right? Could be just hiperplasia? I took prometrium for 10 days and the 11th was the first day of my period, but today, the 24th, after I thought it stopped on the 17th
