Progesterone Body Cream is used for two main reasons: to protect the uterine lining in women taking estrogen, and to help manage symptoms such as poor sleep, anxiety, and mood changes due to its natural calming effects.

At Winona, progesterone is prescribed only when a patient is also using estrogen therapy. Progesterone’s primary role is to protect the uterine lining and balance the effects of estrogen. Although progesterone can have naturally calming effects that support better sleep and mood balance, it’s not prescribed on its own within Winona’s treatment plans.

Apply the cream to clean, dry, hair-free skin, avoiding the face and breasts. The inner thighs, forearms, or abdomen are ideal application sites. Progesterone has a calming effect, so applying the cream in the evening can help with sleep.

Many women report improved sleep quality within the first few weeks of consistent use. Other benefits, such as mood stabilization and reduced anxiety, may take one to two months to become more noticeable.

Yes. Data shows that when properly dosed and compounded, progesterone cream can effectively protect the uterine lining and deliver therapeutic levels through the skin.

Progesterone cream is generally well-tolerated. The most common side effect is drowsiness, which is why evening use is recommended. Some women may also experience mild bloating or breast tenderness as their body adjusts. If you have any concerns, or if any side effects persist, please consult your Winona physician.

Each dose is personalized based on your unique needs and health profile, as assessed by a Winona physician.
