During the menopause, the estrogen levels in the body decrease and can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, night sweats, reduced libido, and mood swings. Elleste Duet Conti contains a hormone called estradiol, which replaces the lost oestrogen in the body. This improves the symptoms associated with menopause by increasing oestrogen levels. rise in oestrogen levels can increase the risk of womb cancer by causing overgrowth of the endometrium. To offset this risk, Elleste Duet also contains another ingredient called norethisterone, a type of progestogen. The addition of a progestogen greatly reduces the risk of womb cancer caused by oestrogen.
