Why Should I Use Progesterone Cream?

Why Should I Use Progesterone Cream?

A lot of women have reduced levels of all hormones most especially progesterone this is as a result of the xeno-estrogens we are all exposed to in our everyday life that mimic estrogen. Its in our food, products we use daily, our diets. It is recommended that women use progesterone cream to make up for progesterone deficiency

How would I know if I should use natural progesterone?

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, then natural progesterone is for you:

(a) If you have Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) also referred to as Premenstrual Tension (PMT). PMS or PMT symptoms are those symptoms that consistently crop up about 7 to10 days before the start of a period and stop as soon as the period starts or shortly after.

(b) If you experience Estrogen Dominance symptoms. Some of the symptoms are decreased sex drive, increases fat deposition in the thighs and hips, there is increased risk of endometrial and breast cancer, depression, headaches, mood swings, fluid and salt retention, increases blood clotting and the risk of stroke.

(c) If you experience menopausal symptoms. During menopause, the production of progesterone is almost nil but estrogen is still produced from the fat in cells even after menopause; however, progesterone production virtually ends. Some of the symptoms of menopause are hot flashes, mood changes, memory problems, sleep problems, irregular periods, headaches, joint and muscle pain

(d) Osteoporosis. Women over 50 years of age should use natural progesterone cream to prevent osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease in which bones become brittle and there is the likely that it would break. Osteoporosis is also referred to as brittle bone disease. These broken bones are also referred to as fractures. Any bone can be affected but it is more common with the wrist, hip and spine. Osteoporosis can be present without presenting any symptoms for years until there is a bone fracture.

What Are The Side Effects Linked With Progesterone Cream?

The Physician's Desk Reference has a list of side effects and contraindications associated with the use of synthetic progesterone but there are no reports of side effects associated with the use of natural progesterone. Natural progesterone is a cholesterol derivative which comes from soy beans or Mexican wild yam whose chemical composition matches that of the progesterone produced by the body and as such does not have any side effects. The chemical composition of synthetic progesterone is altered by it's manufacturers so as to produce progestins (progestins are synthetic progesterone). Some of the side effects associated with the use of synthetic progesterone are depression, migraine, abortion, birth defects, asthma and epilepsy.
