Progynova is an oestrogen-only hormone replacement therapy (or HRT for short) which commonly prescribed throughout the UK to mitigate the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. Developed and marketed by Bayer pharmaceutical company, Progynova is available both as a tablet and a transdermal patch, with both forms being available in two different strengths.

When should I seek HRT?

Menopause is, of course, a completely natural process that every woman will experience after reaching a certain age. As such, menopause cannot be cured nor prevented – and there is no reason for this. The cluster of symptoms associated to menopause is actually a consequence of natural changes in the female body as it approaches the final ovulation and afterwards. These changes are, for most of the time, closely related to changes of levels of different hormones, most notably oestrogen. In fact, the vast majority of symptoms associated with menopause are directly tied to the decrease in overall presence of oestrogen within the body.

These symptoms are thought of as rather mild by a majority of women and in those cases, no additional therapy or remedy will be needed. However, in those cases where they become especially prominent and severe to the point of interfering with everyday life and activities, prescription medication in form of hormone replacement therapy such as Progynova might be advised.

How can Progynova make menopause less uncomfortable?

As mentioned, the decreasing levels of oestrogen are at the root of the majority of issues commonly associated with menopause, so it comes as no surprise that HRTs such as Progynova aim to solve this problem by providing the body with synthetic, man-made bioequivalent of the said sex hormone. Progynova is no different – it is based on estradiol hemihydrate as an active ingredient, a pharmaceutical compound that mimics the effects of oestrogen on the body. Once introduced into the bloodstream, this compound will successfully supplement the decreasing levels of oestrogen and thus alleviate the symptoms associated with this deficit.

As an oestrogen-only solution, Progynova is recommended to women who have already undergone hysterectomy, a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the womb, similarly to other medications of the same type (such as Estradot). This is very important since uncontrolled rise in the levels of oestrogen has been proven to cause excessive thickening of uterine lining which can eventually develop into endometrial cancer. Because of this, oestrogen-only HRTs can be safely used either by women who have had their wombs removed or those which take additional supplements based on synthetic progesterone, a compound that is tasked with keeping the oestrogen levels in check.

Progynova as a second-line osteoporosis treatment

Studies have also shown that Progynova can achieve measurable results when prescribed to postmenopausal women who are at risk of developing osteoporosis. However, despite this, Progynova remains second-line osteoporosis treatment which is prescribed only to those women who are unable to take other, prime-line solutions for one reason or another.

How to use Progynova?

Before commencing treatment, be sure to carefully read through the official patient information leaflet that is issued within every pack of the medicine. There you will find crucial information on when and how exactly to commence the treatment and how to ensure optimal results while at the same time minimising the risk of experiencing side effects. In addition to this, your prescriber will certainly provide you with additional, maybe even personalised instructions, which should always be your first point of reference.
