I am 65 years old, had a hysterectomy in 1996, still have my ovaries, and have been taking Estrogel since 2009. Should I take progesterone?

Yes, it is important to take progestin along with estrogen to protect against uterine cancer. However, if you have had a hysterectomy, progestin may not be necessary. If you have not experienced the desired effects with estrogen alone, it is recommended to discuss this with your pharmacist or healthcare provider to determine the best course of action. They can assess your treatment, dosage, and make any necessary adjustments or suggest alternatives. It is important to have regular follow-up to ensure that your hormone therapy is working effectively.
