My menopause clinic has prescribed me Evorel 50 patches (oestrogen only), 1/2 patch twice weekly, to help with my menopause symptoms, hot flushes, urethra/bladder irritation. However, the leaflet states that women with a womb taking oestrogen regularly may cause the womb lining to build up and thicken, therefore a progestogen hormone should be added to help shed the lining.
I'm 60, still have my womb, my last period was approx 10 years ago. Do I need the added progesterone? Any advice welcome.
