On prescrit presque toujours aux femmes qui ont un utérus de l'œstrogène et de la progestérone. Pris seul, l'œstrogène augmente considérablement les risques de cancer de l'utérus; il semble, selon les études cliniques, que la progestérone neutralise ce risque. Les femmes qui ont subi une ablation de l'utérus peuvent prendre de l'œstrogène seul; on parle alors «d'œstrogénothérapie».
