English term

progesterone withdrawal

English to Portuguese Other Medical (general) medicine
Progestogen challenge has been traditionally used to evaluate a functional outflow tract that has been adequately primed by normal levels of circulating oestrogen. Although this assesses both the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and reproductive structures, there is debate as to whether it should be performed prior to non-invasive imaging or hormonal assays that may obviate the need for progesterone withdrawal.

retirada de progesterona

Acho que withdrawal é usado aí segundo o sentido abaixo extraído de The Free Dictionary:
"withdrawal
(...)
2. Discontinuation of the use of an addictive substance."

Isso porque o "progesterone challenge" é o "progesterone withdrawal test", ou "teste de retirada de progesterona".

Refere-se à interrupção do tratamento com progesterona, não apenas à diminuição da dose.

desmame de progesterona

A abstinência depende da vontade do doente, enquanto o desmame é imposto pelo médico.
Nesse sentido, withdrawal = sevrage = Entwöhnung = desmame
