It belongs to hormone-replacement medicines, replacing the estrogen hormone whose production falls in the body around and after menopause.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"how\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_the_medicine_work\"><\/span>How does the medicine work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>the medicine<\/strong> works by replacing the estrogen hormone that declines after menopause, so it eases the symptoms linked to its lack such as hot flushes and night sweats. This hormonal replacement is set carefully by the doctor according to the case, because hormone therapy has benefits and risks that differ from one woman to another, and it is used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest suitable period.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"uses\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_is_it_used_overview\"><\/span>Where is it used?

To read the educational details of the uses see <a href=\"https:\/\/nostylelike.net\/en\/progynova-uses\/\">Progynova uses<\/a>. Remember that deciding whether it suits your case is a medical decision that balances benefit and risk, and it may need another hormone added depending on the case.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"progestogen\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_need_for_an_added_hormone_sometimes\"><\/span>The need for an added hormone sometimes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is important to understand that <strong>Progynova<\/strong> is estrogen only, and in women who have not had the womb removed the doctor usually adds a progestogen to protect the womb lining.

Hormone therapy requires a benefit-versus-risk assessment and regular follow-up including breast examination and blood pressure.
