Progestin

Progestin is a synthetic hormone that mimics progesterone, a natural hormone produced by the ovaries. It plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progestin is commonly used in hormonal contraceptives, helping to prevent ovulation and regulate menstrual periods. It can also be found in hormone replacement therapies for women experiencing menopause. By influencing the uterine lining, progestin helps to prepare the body for potential pregnancy or to manage symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances.
