Natural Progesterone

If you are a woman struggling to decide whether a Natural Progesterone therapy should be initiated, the following information is bound to ease your anxieties. There are many reasons why Natural Progesterone is not commonly recommended as a part of typical, medical diagnostic treatment. This is mainly because supplementation with Natural Progesterone is often dubbed as 'alternative therapy' and is not considered a part of conventional medicine. However, the presence of a large number of Natural Progesterone products in the market suggests the large interest such products have created in terms of consumers and pharmaceutical brands that are continuously striving to provide better, patented forms of Natural Progesterone. However, very few pharmacists or practitioners realize the difference between artificial progesterone supplementation and treating patients with Natural Progesterone.

 

Progesterone is the primary female hormone that is produced in the woman's ovaries and this process gets initiated during the pubertal period and its overall concentration tends to vary throughout the female's lifecycle. However, any reduction or major fluctuations in the progesterone levels are considered a major health deterrent. This is mainly because as a hormone, Progesterone is the primary controlling factor in the menstrual health and regulation of menstrual cycles. The amount of Progesterone and its balance in coherence with other female hormones like estrogen and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) control the frequency and success rate of ovulation. This also means that the amount of natural Progesterone present in a woman is also related to her fertility.

 

Natural Progesterone is recommended for treating symptoms like:

 

Natural progesterone is important for many other reasons also since it is the chief balancing factor, i.e. for controlling the action of estrogen. This is rather critical since excessive amount of estrogen induces a state of 'estrogen dominance' that can induce many kinds of health deterrents. Excessive amounts of estrogen are also related to cellular growth rate which if unregulated can eve lead to the formation of cysts or ovarian cancer. One of the major reasons of supplementing with Natural Progesterone is infertility and Menopause. In fact, both these conditions are associated with low levels of natural progesterone in the body. It should be noted that not every woman who is suffering from low progesterone levels is recommended Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) since this therapy is applicable only when the hormone levels fall below a particular level.

 

It is commonly believed that many menopausal problems can be prevented by restoring or at least sustaining the natural progesterone levels. This can be done by seeking regular medical check-ups, maintaining good nutrition levels, periodic detoxification and maintaining an active lifestyle. Further, testing for progesterone levels is not demanding since simple tests like Salivary Hormone Profiles can easily indicate the hormones levels. Natural Progesterone Therapy (NPT) cannot immediately correct the hormonal health of the woman since it takes a few weeks for the monthly, menstrual cycles to be restored. This is mainly because it takes time for progesterone to balance the estrogen levels. Estrogen is at the heart of regulating the build-up of endometrial tissue that is a vital part of female reproductive health and thus, NPT can treat infertility.
