This narrative review proposes, on a mechanistic/theoretical basis, that gestrinone (a 19-nortestosterone progestin acting via PRβ to increase 17β-HSD2 and inhibit 17β-HSD1 and aromatase) could reduce local estradiol accumulation and ERα overactivation in lipedema adipose tissue, but presents no clinical intervention data or outcomes in lipedema patients.
