A member asked:
My 16yo daughter was diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis. one doc prescribed progestin only pills while the other doc prescribed estrogen with progestin pills. which is safer for her to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arguably the progestin only is safer because it is only one medication, but the differences are so small as to be insignificant. Adding the estrogen gives much better cycle control in most circumstances.
