In the presence of several risk factors for the development of thrombosis or a high degree of severity of one of the risk factors, CyclO-Proginova is contraindicated for use (due to an increase in the likelihood of thrombosis).

The following warnings regarding the use of HRT should be considered when using the CyclO-Proginov preparation.
HRT and tumors
-Endometrial cancer
With prolonged use of estrogens in monotherapy, the probability of cancer of the uterine mucosa (endometrial cancer) increases. If you have a uterus preserved. You will need an additional method of progestogens. The addition of gestagens reduces the risk of endometrial cancer.
Inform your attending physician if you often have cycle irregularities or breakthrough bleeding when taking Cyclo- Proginova.
- Mammary cancer
Several studies have shown that in women who have used hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for several years, breast cancer is observed somewhat more frequently than their peers who have never used HRT. Ifnschinbut discontinues HRT, this elevated indicator is reduced in such a way that, 5 years after the abolition of HRT, the likelihood of finding breast cancer in her is the same as in women who have never used HRT.If breast cancer is detected in women using HRT, the probability of spreading the tumor to other organs is less than that of women who have never used HRT. It is not known whether this difference is explained by the use of HRT. Perhaps it is caused by the fact that women who use hormone replacement drugs are more likely to be examined, and therefore the presence of breast cancer is detected at earlier stages.
The likelihood of detecting breast cancer increases with duration of treatment, but these the rates are comparable to the increased risk of breast cancer that occur with the later onset of natural menopause. Preparations for HRT, to which Cyclo-Proginova belongs, increase the mammographic density of the milkчнglands, which in some cases may have a negative effect on X-ray detection of breast cancer. Therefore, other methods should be used to detect breast cancer.
- Liver tumors
In rare cases, with the use of sex hormones, development benign, and even less often - malignant liver tumors. In separate cases such tumors led to the development of life-threatening bleeding into the abdominal cavity.
