Overview

One thing I’d add to this discussion is progesterone. Progesterone is often viewed as a hormone that’s only needed to protect the uterus. While endometrial protection is absolutely one of its primary roles, that’s not the only thing it does. In the brain, progesterone is converted to allopregnanolone, a neurosteroid that enhances GABA, the brain’s primary calming neurotransmitter. This is one reason micronized progesterone may improve sleep quality in appropriately selected women. This is also why some women who have had a hysterectomy may still benefit from progesterone for reasons other than uterine protection. That doesn’t mean every woman without a uterus should be prescribed progesterone, but it does mean the conversation shouldn’t end with, “You don’t have a uterus, so you don’t need it.” Disclaimer: This is for education only and is not medical advice. Hormone therapy should always be individualized based on your symptoms, medical history, goals, and the best available evidence.
