Progesterone Therapy | Moonah Health

Understanding Progesterone

Progesterone is primarily produced in a woman’s ovaries and is crucial for reproductive health, particularly during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. During perimenopause and menopause, the body’s natural production of progesterone declines, leading to an imbalance in estrogen levels. This imbalance can trigger or worsen various menopausal symptoms, such as mood changes, bloating, and changes in sleep quality.

A better menopause experience awaits.

Benefits of Progesterone Supplementation

Many women consider progesterone therapy (often part of Hormone Replacement Therapy, or HRT) to counter the effects of declining hormone levels. When used under medical supervision, progesterone can help regulate sleep patterns, stabilize mood, and even support bone health. For women with a uterus who are also taking supplemental estrogen, progesterone is crucial for protecting the uterine lining from the effects of unopposed estrogen, potentially reducing the risk of endometrial issues.

Different Forms of Progesterone

There are various ways to supplement progesterone, and the best method typically depends on each woman’s unique biology and symptoms. Oral capsules are a convenient option for many, offering an easy way to incorporate progesterone into a daily routine. Transdermal creams or gels can be applied to the skin and absorbed into the bloodstream, while vaginal suppositories are sometimes prescribed for more targeted relief of specific symptoms. Working closely with a healthcare provider can help determine the best delivery system and dosage.

Safety and Considerations

Like any hormone therapy, progesterone supplementation isn’t without potential side effects or risks. Dosage, personal medical history, and concurrent treatments all play a role in determining whether progesterone therapy is advisable. Women who have certain health conditions—such as a history of blood clots or certain cancers—may need to exercise extra caution. Regular check-ups and open communication with a qualified menopause specialist are essential to ensure that progesterone therapy remains both safe and beneficial over time.

A Holistic Approach

While progesterone therapy can be highly effective in mitigating menopausal symptoms, it’s most beneficial when combined with other healthy lifestyle habits. Prioritizing a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and managing stress can all enhance the body’s response to hormone supplementation. Additionally, practices such as mindfulness, adequate sleep, and social support can contribute to a smoother transition through menopause and beyond.
