How much progesterone do you need after menopause? Delivery methods and considerations

Official guidelines recommend using the lowest effective dose of hormones for the shortest possible duration to manage menopausal symptoms. The amount of progesterone needed after menopause depends on individual health factors, whether estrogen is also being used, and the specific therapeutic goal. Most importantly, postmenopausal women with a uterus who take estrogen must also take progesterone to prevent the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer.
