I. How conventional treatment - Progesterone therapy effects women with PMS
Since progesterone is produced after ovulation and PMS occurs in the second half of the menstrual cycle, some researchers believe that deficiency of progesterone or hormone imbalance between estrogen and progesterone may be the caused for pre-menstrual syndrome. Since progesterone is easily broken down if it taken by mouth, it normally is given by form of cream or vagina pessaries which is a device which supports the vagina and needed to be changed every 3 to six months.
II. Side effects
1. Weight change and water retention
Using the progesterone hormone therapy may increase the risk of potassium deficiency because high levels of progesterone in the bloodstream during menstrual cycle inhibits potassium leading to abnormal lymphatic and kidney function in water and fluid regulation resulting in water retention and weigh change.
2. Acne
Using progesterone hormone replacement therapy highly increases the progesterone levels in bloodstream during the luteal stage of the menstrual cycle resulting in outbreak of acne.
3. Breast tenderness
Progesterone therapy increases the levels of progesterone that inhibits the levels of magnesium leading to magnesium deficiency and imbalance the levels of prostaglandins production resulting in breast tenderness.
