Will progesterone help relieve heavy menstrual bleeding, PMS, breast swelling and menstrual cramps?

Most women realise excellent results when using progesterone to treat PMS, breast engorgement and/or heavy menstrual bleeding. This is possible because progesterone opposes these estrogen dominant symptoms.

In the first two weeks following your last period, estrogen surges through your body. If this is not balanced by a corresponding surge of progesterone in the last two weeks leading up to your next period then a number of side effects develop.

Breast tenderness is one condition caused by estrogen dominance. The other is thickening of the uterine lining leading to heavy bleeding and/or clotting. Other factors such a fibroids can be the cause of heavy bleeding and clotting, brought on by estrogen dominance so please get a checkup if your periods are excessive.

Introducing progesterone can actually restore hormone balance and performance. Other factors such as vitamin supplements, exercise, and attention to diet can relieve fluid retention and menstrual cramping. After four cycles, a majority of women report periods have returned to normal flow, consistency, duration, and pain-free if a PMS related problem.

If you suffer from endometriosis and this is the cause of PMS pain, progesterone will certainly help alleviate these debilitating menstrual cycles over a course of months.
