Formula Information
Progesterone 10% Vaginal Gel is a compounded, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy specifically designed to treat Women's Health - Endometriosis.

Progesterone 10% Vaginal Gel helps to restore the proper balance of hormones, allowing the body to more effectively heal and protect itself. This formulation is also highly beneficial for patients dealing with the discomfort, pain and bleeding caused by endometriosis; as the progesterone helps reduce inflammation, reduces painful discomfort and discourages the growth of endometrial lesions.

How Does it Work
Progesterone 10% Vaginal Gel is often prescribed to treat endometriosis in women. This therapy is used primarily to help reduce inflammation of endometrial tissue in the affected area. It works by providing progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone in the body, to the affected area. When this hormone is present in the area of the endometriosis, it helps to reduce inflammatory markers that cause excessive growth of the endometrial tissue. The progesterone works by inhibiting the growth of prostaglandins, which are compounds that are involved in inflammation. This can help to reduce inflammation and reduce the severity of the endometriosis. The progesterone also helps to reduce the production of estrogen, which is another hormone that can stimulate the growth of endometrial cells. By reducing the levels of estrogen and prostaglandins, it can help to stop the growth of endometrial tissue and relieve symptoms associated with endometriosis. Additionally, progesterone has been shown to reduce pain associated with endometriosis. This therapy is generally used in combination with other treatments such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or hormonal therapy. It is important to note that progesterone 10% Vaginal Gel does not cure endometriosis and must be used in conjunction with other treatments for optimal results.
