Dr. Shweta decided to add a progestin for 10–12 days each month to estrogen replacement therapy in menopausal women in the gynaecology OPD. Addition of progestin is recommended because the progestin:
A
Blocks the increased risk of myocardial infarction due to estrogen
B
Blocks the increased risk of endometrial carcinoma due to estrogen
C
Reverses vulval atrophy occurring pausal women
D
Enhances the metabolic benefits of estrogen treatment
