What can I do to lower my chances of having an adverse event with EstroGel?
Talk with your healthcare provider regularly about whether you should continue using EstroGel.
If you have a uterus, talk with your healthcare provider about whether the addition of a progestin (a different prescribed hormone) is right for you. The addition of a progestin is generally recommended for women with a uterus to reduce the chance of getting cancer of the uterus.
See your healthcare provider right away if you get vaginal bleeding while using EstroGel.
Have a pelvic exam, breast exam and mammogram (breast x-ray) every year unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise. If members of your family have had breast cancer or if you have ever had breast lumps or an abnormal mammogram, you may need to have breast exams more often.
If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol (fat in the blood), diabetes, are overweight, or if you use tobacco, you may have higher chances of getting heart disease. Ask your healthcare provider for ways to lower your chances of getting heart disease.
