The Benefits of Progesterone for Perimenopause and Menopause
Progesterone offers a wide range of benefits for women going through perimenopause and menopause, including:
1. Anxiety Relief & Emotional Balance
Progesterone has a calming effect due to its interaction with GABA receptors in the brain, helping to reduce anxiety and mood swings, which are common during this time.
2. Hot Flash Relief
Progesterone can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, offering much-needed relief, particularly when combined with other hormone therapies if needed.
3. Improved Sleep Quality
Struggling with sleep disturbances? Progesterone can help promote relaxation and improve sleep by supporting the body’s natural circadian rhythms, making it easier to fall and stay asleep.
4. Cycle Regulation & Menorrhagia Control
During perimenopause, irregular cycles and heavy bleeding (menorrhagia) can be distressing. Progesterone helps regulate periods and reduce excessive bleeding, especially in women with estrogen dominance.
5. Boosting Libido
Progesterone can restore hormonal balance in estrogen-dominant women, which may lead to an improved libido—a common concern during menopause.
6. Estrogen Dominance
For women with high estrogen levels, progesterone acts as a counterbalance, reducing symptoms like bloating, breast tenderness, and mood fluctuations.
7. Protection Against Endometrial Hyperplasia
By balancing estrogen levels, progesterone helps prevent endometrial hyperplasia, a condition that can increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
8. Cancer Protection
Research suggests that progesterone may help lower the risk of endometrial and breast cancer by reducing the proliferative effects of estrogen, though ongoing studies continue to explore its full protective potential.
9. Bone Health
Progesterone, while not as directly linked to bone health as estrogen, contributes to hormonal balance, which can help support overall bone density.
10. Cardiovascular Health
Bioidentical progesterone may offer cardiovascular benefits, such as lowering inflammation and improving lipid profiles, reducing heart disease risks as women age.
