Answer to Question 1

Estrogen is a risk factor for endometrial cancer. Women who have been exposed to high levels of estrogen for HRTs, those who are overweight, experienced late menopause, never had children, or who have a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome are at increased risk for endometrial cancer (American Cancer Society, 2010).

Answer to Question 2

Women with painful periods, intense cramps, heavy menses, migraines, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), epilepsy, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and diabetes all can benefit from menstrual suppression (F. D. Anderson et al., 2006; Freeman, 2008; Merkifeld et al., 2008; A. L. nelson, 2007; Stacey, 2008). In addition, menstrual disorders are the number one cause of gynecological disease and affect millions of American women yearly (Clayton, 2008).
