Progestin-containing IUDs are increasingly used for endometrial protection in patients on estrogen therapy or with specific gynecologic risks—but what does the data actually support? In this focused session, Dr. Amy Voedisch will review the evidence behind progestin IUD use for endometrial protection, including patient selection, duration of use, and clinical scenarios where they offer advantages over systemic progestins. Attendees will gain practical strategies for integrating this approach into menopause care and beyond.
