Progestogens, synthesized since the 1930s for clinical use, support pregnancy and exhibit estrogen, androgen, and corticosteroid effects beyond progesterone activity.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Progestogen is a very important steroid hormone which has roles of supporting pregnancy secreted from ovary and placenta. From 1930, a lot of progestogens are compounded for clinical use. Compounded progestogens have not only progesterone effect but also estrogen, androgen and corticosteroid effects, respectively. Progestogen is used for treatment of hormone therapy of ovulation disorders. In recent clinical application, progestogens have some important effects in contraceptives, endometriosis and hormone replacement therapy.
