Will the use of Provera for 6 months in a postmenopausal person promote the occurrence of breast cancer and thrombosis?
I am a postmenopausal person. I am 54 years old. I was prescribed prowera once a day 10 mg for the treatment of endometriosis for a period of 6 months. Is it not too long considering the risk of breast cancer or thrombosis? In the past, I had a benign lump removed from the breast, I also have varicose veins of the lower legs and slight heart failure due to mitral valve prolapse. Please reply.

The use of Provera may affect the onset of thromboembolism and may theoretically increase the risk of breast cancer. Have you informed your doctor about current and past health problems? I have no competence to challenge the medical decision regarding the treatment (or its duration). The use of most drugs is associated with the risk of side effects. If you have provided all the information and concerns to the doctor and diagnostic tests have been performed (in terms of potential contraindications), I assume that the doctor knows what he is doing when implementing a specific treatment. If you feel concerned about the need to use medication for so long, I can only offer a consultation with another gynecologist - preferably specializing in the treatment of endometriosis. In the e-visit tab on our website, you can find a gynecologist and take advantage of a paid tele-consultation - if you care about time. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/64912/provera-tabletki/ulotka/17599
