Bioidentical Progesterone Replacement Therapy in North Hollywood, CA
Women face a number of unique health challenges. Many of these stem from the processes of menstruation and pregnancy. These functions of the female body are regulated in part by the hormone progesterone. When the body produces too much progesterone, it can lead to a decrease in estrogen (oestrogen) levels. Producing too little progesterone causes problems, as well.
Bioidentical progesterone replacement is a treatment created to help women overcome these issues and enjoy a better quality of life. Request more information about bioidentical progesterone replacement therapy today: Call (424) 365-1800 or contact Dr. Jeremy Fischer online.
Progesterone Imbalance Symptoms
Progesterone is a steroidal hormone that has many functions, most of which are related to the menstrual cycle. Whether progesterone levels are abnormally high or low, there are many symptoms created by this imbalance.
Possible symptoms of low progesterone include:
- Low libido
- Mood swings
- Hot flashes (hot flushes)
- Night sweats
- Infertility
- Miscarriage
- Irregular menstruation
- Cramps
- Bloating
- Ovarian cysts
The symptoms above stem not just from low levels of progesterone, but very high levels of estrogen (oestrogen). In a female body, there is a delicate balance between progesterone and estrogen (oestrogen). The amount of one hormone affects the body's ability to create the other.
Possible symptoms of high progesterone include:
- Acne
- Weight gain
- Hot flashes (hot flushes)
- Urinary tract infections
- Migraines
- Depression
Most women experience some form of progesterone or estrogen (oestrogen) imbalance as a part of menopause. In rare cases, it can happen earlier due to a hysterectomy or serious medical problem.
