Contraception: Norethindrone is commonly used in combination with estrogen in oral contraceptive pills (birth control pills) to prevent pregnancy. It works by inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary), thickening cervical mucus to impede sperm penetration, and altering the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. Norethindrone-only pills (progestin-only pills or minipills) are also available and primarily work by thickening cervical mucus and altering the uterine lining.
Menstrual Disorders: Norethindrone-containing contraceptive pills may be prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles and treat menstrual disorders such as irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). By stabilizing hormonal fluctuations, norethindrone can help promote regular and lighter menstrual periods. Progestin-only pills may also be used to manage menstrual irregularities.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Norethindrone, often in combination with estrogen, is used in hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women to alleviate symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. It can help replace the hormones that the body stops producing after menopause, thereby reducing symptoms and preventing bone loss.
Endometriosis: Norethindrone may be prescribed to treat endometriosis, a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and other symptoms. By suppressing ovulation and thinning the uterine lining, norethindrone can help alleviate symptoms associated with endometriosis, such as pelvic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Norethindrone may be used to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce androgen levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder characterized by irregular periods, excess hair growth, and ovarian cysts. By inhibiting ovulation and lowering androgen levels, norethindrone can help improve symptoms of PCOS.
Breast Cancer: In some cases, norethindrone may be used as part of the treatment for advanced breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. It may help slow the growth of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells by blocking estrogen production in the body.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive β X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
