They also change the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent pregnancy from developing and change the mucus at the cervix (opening of the uterus) to prevent sperm (male reproductive cells) from entering.
Does progestin decrease risk of breast cancer?Some synthetic progestins, when added to oestrogen in HRT for menopausal symptoms, have been reported to increase the risk of breast cancer more than oestrogen alone. Progestin use in breast cancer survivors is associated with an increased breast cancer risk compared with its non-use [4].
Does estrogen prevent endometrial cancer?Women who take progesterone along with estrogen to treat menopausal symptoms do not have an increased risk of endometrial cancer. Still, taking this combination increases a woman's chance of developing breast cancer and also increases the risk of serious blood clots.
Does progestin increase risk of breast cancer?Unlike studies of other oral contraceptives, studies indicate that progestin-only formulations do not increase the risk of breast cancer, although the literature is hampered by small sample sizes.
