Gradual bloodstream levels of estrogen by strictly vaginal use of estrogen sources , and can cause proliferation of endometrial cells. Long term use may be managed by your prescribing physician by occasional ultrasound imaging of the endometrial lining. If the lining is equal to one cm. in depth, a biopsy may be indicated.
