Progesterone & Your Health
In order to accurately evaluate the effects of the
hormones estrogen and natural progesterone, on Menopause, PMS, Fertility,
and Osteoporosis, it is necessary to identify the sources of these two primary
female hormones. Distinguishing safe and natural hormones from those that
are foreign and carcinogenic will allow women to make informed choices.
This information will help them to avoid the unwanted effects of low or no
progesterone (Estrogen Dominance) and the subsequent unpleasant symptoms
associated with Menopause & PMS, the conditions of infertility & osteoporosis.
Other major disorders, including breast cancer, stroke, osteoporosis & heart
disease have also been shown to be the result of an imbalance of estrogen and
progesterone.
Under the normal, healthy circumstances of a woman's monthly cycle, estrogen
should be the dominant hormone for the first two weeks and is balanced by
natural progesterone, which should be the dominant hormone for the latter
two weeks.
After a woman has entered menopause, whether it is due to age or surgery
(hysterectomy), female hormone production is reduced to approximately 40%
to 60% of the pre-menopausal levels. While the need for a proper balance
of estrogen and progesterone are important to all adult women, it is more
critical at this time and many informed women have chosen a properly
formulated natural progesterone cream.
Problems arise, however, when foreign estrogens and synthetic hormones are
introduced into the body that interfere with natural hormone production and
normal thyroid function and when natural progesterone production is
consequently suppressed by these environmental antagonists.
