Usage
Women who have gone through menopause take Susten 200 tablets and Estrogen replacement therapy. They stop the Estrogen from causing Endometrium Hyperplasia when the lining of the uterus gets thicker.
Susten 200 treats women who haven't reached menopause but aren't having periods because their bodies don't have enough Progesterone.
Hormone replacement therapy
Menopause is when a woman breaks off her period. It's a natural part of getting older.
Before and during menopause, the levels of hormones in women can go up and down. This can make the genital area dry and cause hot flashes.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), also called menopausal hormone therapy, can help some women feel better when they have these symptoms. HRT could also help stop Osteoporosis from happening.
Treatment of Female infertility
Female infertility is when a woman has tried for a year to get pregnant but hasn't been able to.
If a woman loses her babies often, this can also lead to a cause of not being able to conceive. Working
Susten 200 is a female hormone. It helps start and keep a pregnancy going.
It also stops the Endometrium (the lining of the uterus) from getting thicker, which is what Estrogen does.
