What is progesterone?

[carlos]

Progesterone is a steroid hormone produced in women by the ovaries and in a small amount by the adrenal glands. The level of the hormone in the blood increases significantly during ovulation and decreases by the time of menstruation.

Progesterone and similar synthetic substances, progestins play a huge role in the female body: they stimulate the growth and development of the glandular tissue of the mammary glands, take part in the transformation of the endometrium, prepare the female body for pregnancy and its bearing, affect the woman’s immune system during pregnancy, take part in metabolism.

I heard that progesterone is a steroid hormone whose main function is to prepare a woman's body for pregnancy. Progesterone, along with the hormone secreted by the adrenal glands, stops the growth of the endometrium and prepares the uterus for possible implantation of a fertilized egg

Progesterone is a very important hormone. For both men and women. It maintains blood sugar, improves sleep and heart health, and also improves metabolism. You can learn about all the benefits of progesterone hormone. Separately, I want to note that without progesterone, a man is likely to be deficient in testosterone and the man will be at risk of prostate cancer and osteoporosis.
