Progesterone

If you experience irregular periods, you know the lack of predictability can be frustrating, inconvenient, and even frightening. What’s more, you may think that irregularity is simply a fact of life, particularly if you are approaching perimenopause. But menstrual irregularity isn’t inevitable. There is a potential treatment for it: progesterone cream.

Most women are used to experiencing hormonal fluctuations. Since puberty, our bodies become accustomed to the ebb and flow of estrogen and progesterone that guide the reproductive cycle. The changes are routine and familiar. We come to know what to expect. But perimenopause can change that, as it introduces new and foreign hormonal states.

With the advent of menopause, women may experience a host of symptoms that can have a profound impact on both physical and emotional well-being. To address these symptoms, a growing number of women are turning to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in order to replenish hormone levels and ease discomfort. While estrogen is often the centerpiece of these hormonal therapies, progesterone can also have a significant impact on functionality and quality of life.
