How can men benefit from using
progesterone?
In men, progesterone
is produced in the adrenal glands and testes, and is a precursor
to the steroid hormones and testosterone. Supplemental progesterone
aids in the treatment of health concerns such as osteoporosis
and prostatitis.
Most people consider osteoporosis to be a "woman's disease,"
but according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, Twenty
percent of those affected by osteoporosis are men. Many studies
have shown that progesterone treatment helps replace the bone
density that has been loss due to osteoporosis.
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), the swelling of the prostate
commonly known as prostatitis, affects 50% of men during their
lifetimes. Progesterone treatment has been shown to shrink
the prostate, alleviating the painful symptoms of BPH and
allowing men to urinate more easily.
Progestacare for men
contains all natural ingredients that work together synergistically
for superior performance when applied to the skin. This special
blend of ingredients includes natural progesterone, grape
seed extract (a natural preservative), saw palmetto, damiana,
MSM and ginseng.
Progestacare for men is physician developed from entirely
natural ingredients and is skillfully and effectively formulated.
It is non-oily, does not leave a residue on the skin, and
it has extremely effective absorption qualities.
MEN AND PROGESTERONE
It should not be forgotten that men benefit from progesterone
too. It is naturally produced in the testes and is a precursor
to other hormones. It is important to the functioning of the
male counter part of the uterus, called the prostate gland.
The prostate gland can be affected by hormonal imbalance just
as well as the uterus can. If men have low progesterone levels
their estradiol levels can increase. This increase can lead
to cancer of the prostate, just as it leads to breast and
uterine cancer in women. Dr. John Lee talks about how he found
men with elevated PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels having
decreases of these levels when using progesterone cream daily.
There were no progressions of their prostate lesions. Many
men who were putting the cream on their wives also reported
that urinary frequency and urgency symptoms of prostate enlargement
(BPH) had decreased.
Prostate cancer has been treated by the use of hormone-suppressing
drugs that reduce testosterone levels. Many times the treatment
benefits last only a few years then the cancer progresses.
If unopposed estrogen is known to cause endometrial cancer
then why would it not be the cause of prostate cancer, since
both these organs originate from the same embryonic cells?
Also progesterone inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone
to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is known to stimulate
prostate cell growth.
