Curious about the benefits of progesterone

Does the progesterone component of my hormone therapy have any symptom benefits, or is it just there to protect my uterus from the estrogen?

  Thank you for inviting the sanoMidLife Clinical Team to this conversation.

  The primary role of progesterone in your hormone therapy is to protect the lining of your uterus from the stimulating effects of estrogen, which helps reduce the risk of endometrial cancer if you still have your uterus. Beyond that, progesterone can provide added benefits for some women—such as improving sleep, easing night sweats, supporting a calmer mood, and, during perimenopause, helping to regulate or suppress irregular bleeding. Because everyone responds differently, it’s important to review your symptoms and hormone plan with your sanoMidLife clinician to ensure you’re getting the most benefit while minimizing any side effects.
