ProFeme® can be an appropriate adjunct therapy for other progesterone-deficiency conditions, like
- surgical menopause from hysterectomy,
- ovarian cysts,
- uterine fibroids,
- estrogen-dependent malignancies, and
- fibrocystic breasts.
If you have had a hysterectomy, the doctor may prescribe estrogen, in isolation, for menopausal symptoms. This estrogen needs to be supported with natural bio-identical progesterone to prevent possible “estrogen dominance”.
Alternatively, you or your doctor may alter your dose to achieve a crescendo effect 4 or 5 days prior to your menstruation. Your doctor may tell you to start with half a unit and step up the dose over the course of three months, depending on your symptoms.
