Dydrogesterone generally has no effect on uterine fibroids. This is primarily because uterine fibroids are an estrogen-dependent condition, whereas dydrogesterone is a progestogen. Therefore, administration of dydrogesterone tablets to patients with uterine fibroids typically does not affect the fibroids. However, long-term use may potentially stimulate fibroid growth.
