Progesterone Menopausal Status

Meaning

Progesterone Menopausal Status is the clinical assessment and characterization of a woman’s progesterone levels relative to her specific stage in the menopausal transition, including premenopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause. Progesterone status is a critical hormonal metric, as its decline is often the first significant change in perimenopause, profoundly impacting mood, sleep quality, and uterine health. This assessment guides the precise need for and appropriate dosage of hormone replacement therapy.
