Hurdity do you have any comments on taking utrogeston rectally?
I read this as Cyclogest first....
Yes my comments are that it is not designed to be taken rectally and has not been tested in this way, and not even structured to facilitate this so I wouldn't do so. You have no idea how it is going to be absorbed or how much or how the coating etc reacts with the contents of the rectum etc. It would be trial and error and how long do you give it before deciding it is not protecting the uterus.
Anyone who wants to go down the rectal route (and having tried it for some months or maybe even a year - can't remember - I never want to again!) should go for Cyclogest which is designed for this, even though unlicensed for menopause.
Also for it to work rectally- it has to be absorbed systemically through the wall of the bowel before being transported to the uterus, whereas inserted vaginally - much of it goes straight to the uterus where it is needed.
