Progesterone Balance

Meaning

Progesterone Balance refers to the maintenance of circulating progesterone levels within the optimal physiological range relative to other sex hormones, particularly estrogen, throughout the menstrual cycle in women or as a neurosteroid in men and post-menopausal women. This state is clinically essential for mitigating estrogen-dominant symptoms, supporting healthy sleep architecture, and exerting a protective effect on the nervous system and bone density. Achieving this balance is a primary goal in managing premenstrual syndrome, perimenopausal symptoms, and overall hormonal resilience. Imbalance, often manifesting as a relative deficiency, can lead to anxiety and cyclical irregularities.
