Supplementation of estrogen and progesterone is not necessary under normal circumstances. If the patient is in discomfort and needs to supplement estrogen and progesterone, it is necessary to supplement estrogen and progesterone through oral, injection and topical topical medication under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Estrogen: A common method of estrogen supplementation is oral estrogen, including natural estrogen and synthetic estrogen, such as estradiol valerate, estradiol, nilestrol, vinylestradiol, etc. These medications can act on the target organ and increase the level of estrogen in the body.
They can also be supplemented with topical medications, such as applying estradiol gel to the local skin, or applying estradiol extended-release patches or estradiol hemihydrate patches to the lower abdomen or thigh area. For those who cannot take oral medication, they can take intramuscular injections such as estradiol benzoate and ethinyl estradiol.
2. Progesterone: for patients with habitual abortion or preeclampsia, progesterone can be supplemented by injection; for perimenopausal women, progesterone capsules and dydrogesterone can be taken orally to supplement progesterone.
For those who need to supplement progesterone and estrogen at the same time, they can take oral estrogen-progestin combination preparations, such as estradiol valerate/estradiol cyproterone tablets and estradiol/estradiol dydrogesterone tablets.
The specific dosage and duration of estrogen or progesterone supplementation is determined by the degree of illness and physical condition of the individual. If medication is needed, it should be strictly followed by the doctor’s advice and not used indiscriminately.
