Abnormal uterine bleeding: It is used to treat irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding due to hormonal imbalances.
Endometriosis: It may be used as part of a treatment plan for endometriosis, a condition in which the tissue lining the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and discomfort.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART): It may be used in ART procedures to prepare the uterus for embryo transfer.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): It may be used as a component of hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women who have a uterus, to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma.
