Irregular menstruation and hormone therapy

Irregular menstruation and hormone therapy Email I received last week:
I bought progesterone cream from you. I've been using it for two weeks. I started menstruating a bit today and I don't know how long it will last.
I suffer from PCOS and bought this cream because I didn't want to take the birth control pill. I would like to ask: should I use this cream during menstruation? Can you give me some guidance? I haven't had my period for four months, and this morning there was a little.


 

When to apply cream with irregular menstruation


I'm always happy when a woman stops using the pill, IUD, or regular hormone therapy to remedy complaints. The side effects are usually quite severe. And it's out of the frying pan into the fire.
Applying progesterone cream provides balance without side effects. When your menstruation is irregular, starting on day 12 is naturally difficult to determine. How can you deal with this?
Let's first discuss the why of irregular menstruation.


 

Causes of irregular menstrual cycles


Irregular menstrual cycles can be a frustrating and distressing problem for many women. It can affect their quality of life, fertility, and overall health. An important hormone that plays a role in regulating the menstrual cycle is progesterone. Let's delve deeper into the causes of irregular menstruation and the role that progesterone plays.

There are several factors that can contribute to irregular menstrual cycles. Stress, poor nutrition, excessive exercise, weight fluctuations, and hormonal imbalances can all play a role. One of the key hormones involved in the menstrual cycle is progesterone.


 

The Role of Progesterone


Progesterone is an important hormone produced in the ovaries during the second half of the menstrual cycle, after ovulation. It plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle and in preparing the body for a potential pregnancy.

During the first half of the menstrual cycle, also known as the follicular phase, estrogen is produced and prepares the body for ovulation. After ovulation, during the second half of the cycle, progesterone takes over. It prepares the uterus for a potential pregnancy by thickening the lining of the uterine wall and creating an environment favorable for the implantation of a fertilized egg.

If no pregnancy occurs, progesterone levels drop and menstruation begins. A consistent level of progesterone is essential for maintaining a healthy menstrual cycle. When progesterone levels are out of balance, this can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), or other menstruation-related issues.


 

Treatment Options


A healthy lifestyle is at the top of the list. We usually know what could be better in our lives. What addictions and bad habits we have. What do you need to live healthier?

Sometimes it's necessary to start applying progesterone cream first because lifestyle changes are just easier when you're not dealing with hormonal fluctuations half the time.

For women dealing with irregular menstruation due to a progesterone deficiency, progesterone cream can be an effective treatment method. Progesterone cream can help restore hormonal balance and regulate the menstrual cycle.

When your menstruation is irregular, it is naturally difficult to start applying on day 12 every month.

Actually, the solution is very simple:

When you receive the jar or pump, start applying immediately.

Apply continuously for 3 months. No stopping days.

There's a good chance your menstruation will be regular after that.

If that's not the case, then stop for 5 days every month until you have a regular menstruation again.

If it really takes too long, consult a doctor. Always check what's going on.


 

Conclusion:


Irregular menstrual cycles can have various causes, including hormonal imbalances such as a deficiency in progesterone. Understanding the role of progesterone in the menstrual cycle can help women better understand their health and explore effective treatment options, such as progesterone cream. Give it a few months to come back into balance. Consult a doctor to see what's going on when the balance is not restored.
