Progesterone is commonly used together with estrogen for hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women. This can ease symptoms of hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. It can also protect against osteoporosis.

In women who still have a uterus, estrogen is given with progesterone to protect the uterus. Estrogen can thicken the endometrial lining, which can increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Progesterone thins the lining, reducing the risk of overgrowth.
