A member asked:
Does low progesterone cause endometrial cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indirectly, yes: Low progesterone by itself will not cause endometrial cancer, but if a woman has high estrogen levels AND low progesterone, it will cause constant stimulation of growth in the endometrium which could lead to cancer. I hope that makes sense!
