Progesterone
Progesterone is a naturally-occurring hormone, which can also be made in a laboratory. As a medication, it is used for hormone replacement therapy and to treat a number of menstrual conditions. When made in a laboratory, it is often referred to as a progestin, which is a term for substances that have all or some of the effects of progesterone. Progesterone can be prescribed, and it may also be found in some over-the-counter products, as well as some topical products such as cosmetics.
When naturally produced, progesterone is a chemical released by the ovaries. When levels of naturally-occurring progesterone change, it can affect menstrual cycles. This might lead to abnormal periods or menstrual symptoms. Progesterone also plays an important role in the implantation of a fertilized egg into the uterus lining. Synthetic progesterone is prescribed to mimic natural progesterone for a range of different reasons.
What Is Progesterone Prescribed For?
Progesterone is prescribed as part of hormone replacement therapy, in combination with estrogen. Progesterone needs to be given alongside estrogen because estrogen on its own can increase the risk of uterine cancer. The amount of progesterone a woman produces reduces during menopause, which is why it is often prescribed as part of hormone replacement therapy during and after menopause.
It can also be used to treat a range of abnormal menstrual symptoms, including abnormal bleeding, periods that have stopped unexpectedly, and severe PMS. Progesterone can sometimes be used to treat infertility or might be prescribed in early pregnancy.
How Does Progesterone Work?
Progesterone is manufactured to mimic the effects of the progesterone that naturally occurs in the female body. Natural progesterone is released by the ovaries, but too little can be produced, requiring a progesterone prescription to balance the hormones. Progesterone performs a range of functions, playing a role in preparing the body for conception, maintaining pregnancy, and regulating menstrual cycles. If there is an imbalance in the progesterone in the body, taking progesterone can help. It may be given as oral capsules, vaginal gel or capsules, pessaries, or injections.
What Are the Side Effects of Progesterone?
Progesterone can produce some side effects. It’s recommended that hormone replacement therapies are prescribed in the lowest doses and for the shortest amount of time to help prevent side effects.
Some of the side effects of taking progesterone may include:
- Menstrual cramps
- Bleeding
- Bloating
- Dizziness
- Moodiness and irritability
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Tiredness
The side effects of progesterone are often close to premenstrual symptoms. This is because progesterone is a sex hormone that helps to regular menstrual cycles. PMS symptoms are more likely to occur when the body is producing the most progesterone.
