Ive recently started taking progesterone for a hormone imbalance but should i be bothered by the fact that my doctor did not ask for any further tests about what caused it? I read online that sometimes low progesterone can be caused by cancer in the adrenal glands and other different tumors. On top of that, since ive started taking the medication, my voice has been super hoarse and I've been reading about how you should talk to your doctor if you experience this while taking progesterone and I saw something about how changes in the voice can be a symptom of cancer in the throat and now I'm terrified to go to the doctor and see what she might say.
Hoarseness for weeks??

this could very likely be psychosomatic. you're predisposed to anxiety surrounding your health, you've read some alarming things about a medication you've been prescribed and now you're experiencing said symptoms. worst case scenario, this could be a side effect to your medication. send your doc a message or give him a call and let them decide what's going on. i would bet my next paycheck that it's not cancer, though.
