Common "Progesterone Cream" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Progesterone Cream

Progesterone cream is one of the treatment options for low levels of progesterone hormone. This method is called hormone replacement therapy and is suggested to women who have symptoms that arise from low progesterone levels such as menopause, aging of the skin, low bone density or osteoporosis, etc. There are also other forms of replacement therapy involving pills, suppositories, vaginal gels, etc., but these creams have natural plant-based compounds and are hence preferred by more women.
