Was Using Progesterone As There Is A Cyst, But Advised Not To Take, Leads To Cancer.
I have been using RX bio-identical progesterone for 20 years.
I had an ultra sound and there is a cyst they are watching .
My gyno dr. said I should not take progesterone even alone, that it could cause cancer.
Is that possible?
He said it could convert to estrogen. Also I use 1/2 gm estriol vag. cream once a week.
He thinks all women should use no form of hrt, whether bio identical or not.

Hi, it is not recomended when there is a possibility of cancer, that is the benign grouth, or a remnant malignancy. Other wise there is no contra indication, but every year there should be general examination for any grouth.
It is advisible not to use the HRT, for so long, time.
Thank you.
