Progesterone Cream for Treatment of Ovarian Cysts

Ovarian cysts, a common problem among many women, can be treated through the proper use of progesterone cream. Many are familiar with Dr. Lee's research that popularized the use of progesterone cream for the treatment of this disease.

Definition

• Progesterone is a hormone produced naturally by the body during menstruation and pregnancy. In the form of a cream, it can be used to treat a variety of feminine problems, including ovarian cysts, breast cancer, PMS and symptoms of menopause.

Forms

• Progesterone cream is available both over the counter and in prescription form. Although the over the counter version can be purchased without a doctor's visit, the prescription form is often more cost effective.

Where to Apply

• The cream can be applied to any part of the body that has plenty of blood flow, including the palms, soles of feet, chest, stomach and thighs. It is absorbed in fat cells and then transferred to the bloodstream.

When to Use

• Forty milligrams of the cream should be applied beginning on day six of a woman's cycle, with day one being the first day of her period. It should be used until day 20, and then treatment should stop until day six of her next period. This should continue for several months.

Consult your Physician

• As always, it is crucial to consult your physician before starting any kind of treatment, including progesterone cream.
