Understanding Progesterone and Its Role in the Body
Overview
Progesterone is a crucial hormone produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands. As women age, their hormone levels, including progesterone, naturally decrease. During menopause and post-menopause, supplementing with progesterone can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and restore hormonal balance.
Progesterone’s Biological Role
Progesterone levels peak during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and are lower during the follicular phase, before puberty, and after menopause. Conditions such as PMS, peri-menopause, post-menopause, vaginal dryness, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fibroid tumors, and endometrial carcinoma may benefit from progesterone therapy.
Choosing the Right Progesterone Supplement
Progesterone supplements come in various forms, including oral, cream, lozenges, suppositories, and injections. "Natural" progesterone is identical to the body’s own hormone, and many doctors favor it over synthetic alternatives. Dr. John R. Lee, a well-known advocate of supplemental progesterone, suggests that transdermal progesterone creams can effectively help balance hormones.
Potential Benefits of Progesterone Supplementation
Taking progesterone may improve cholesterol levels, sleep, mood, concentration, and memory. It could also reduce the risk of depression, endometrial and breast cancer, cognitive decline, and enhance libido.
Natural Alternatives
If progesterone cream isn’t suitable, natural alternatives like soy isoflavonoids, black cohosh, dong quai, and licorice may help balance hormones without synthetic medications.
