Progesterone is a Steroid Hormone produced by the Corpus Luteum found in the Ovary, and by Adrenal Glands, though in small quantity. Corpus Luteum produces the hormone during Ovulation. Progesterone is a precursor to most of the other key Steroid Hormones, such as, Cortisol, Androstenedione, Estrogens, and Testosterone. Progesterone has many key roles in a woman’s physiology with the key one being to neutralize the effects of Estrogen hormone. The role becomes more significant in a Menopausal woman. The onset of Menopause happens when the Estrogen levels in a woman’s body drop by approximately 40-60%. At this time, the Progesterone levels may drop to as much as zero in some cases. This may result in higher Estrogen proportion in the body as compared to that of Progesterone. Now, excess Estrogen in the body may lead to Breast & Reproductive Cancers. In addition, being a hormonal precursor, Progesterone is required for normal hormonal balance and it even helps in bone building, thereby reducing the risk of Osteoporosis in Menopausal women. These are the key reasons for Progesterone to be introduced in the body of a Menopausal female.
Now let us shift our focus to Premenopausal women. 10-15 years prior to Menopause, many women regularly experience Anovulatory Cycles, during which their body produces enough Estrogen to cause Menstruation. However, these women do not produce Progesterone. As a result, Estrogen levels in such women stay on the higher side as compared to Progesterone levels. Introducing Progesterone in the body during Anovulatory Cycles can avert the PMS symptoms.
The above discussion furnishes enough reasons for a woman to stabilize her body’s Progesterone levels. There are many clinical methods available, with a supplemental, non-prescription one being topical Progesterone Cream. VitaMaker offers the following Progesterone Cream, which are known to be effective.
