Uses of Natural Micronised Progesterone

  • Natural Micronised Progesterone is used for hormone replacement therapy and female infertility. It helps treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness by balancing estrogen levels in women undergoing menopause.
  • Additionally, it regulates menstrual cycles and addresses conditions like amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation).
  • This natural progesterone also aids in restoring menstruation in women with secondary amenorrhea (the absence of menstrual cycles), making it an effective option for managing hormonal health.

Side effects of Natural Micronised Progesterone

  • Drowsiness
  • Abdominal Bloating
  • Breast Tenderness
  • Soreness
  • Diarrhoea
  • Flatulence
  • Short Menstrual Cycle
  • Intermittent Bleeding or Spotting

How Natural Micronised Progesterone works

  • Natural Micronised Progesterone falls under the naturally occurring steroid hormone category.
  • It is a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, designed to mimic the body's natural production. 
  • It supports the function of the placenta and reduces uterine contractions, thereby helping to sustain pregnancy.
  • In fertility treatments like IVF, progesterone supplements the body's natural levels, ensuring adequate support for the endometrium and increasing the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
  • Additionally, it reduces the estrogen-induced thickening of the endometrium (uterine lining).

Natural micronized progesterone is used in pregnancy to support the luteal phase and help maintain a healthy uterine lining, which is crucial for early pregnancy and reducing the risk of miscarriage.

Natural micronized progesterone is derived from plant sources and designed to be more easily absorbed by the body, whereas synthetic progesterone (progestins) is chemically modified and may have different effects and side effects.

Natural progesterone works by mimicking the body's own hormone to regulate the menstrual cycle, support pregnancy, and maintain the uterine lining, promoting a favorable environment for embryo implantation and growth.

Micronized progesterone is better because it is processed into smaller particles, enhancing its absorption and bioavailability compared to non-micronized forms, leading to more effective and consistent hormonal support.

Natural micronized progesterone is often preferred for early pregnancy due to its similarity to the body’s own hormone, which supports the uterine lining and reduces the risk of miscarriage.
