Progesterone

What Is Progesterone Therapy?

Progesterone therapy is a prescription hormone treatment that may be considered by a licensed healthcare provider when clinically appropriate. Progesterone plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting reproductive health, and maintaining hormonal balance.

In women, progesterone therapy may be recommended as part of a hormone management plan for symptoms associated with hormonal changes, including perimenopause, menopause, irregular cycles, sleep disturbances, or mood-related concerns. It is often prescribed alongside estrogen for women with a uterus to support endometrial health as part of a provider-guided treatment plan.

At Alorah Wellness, progesterone therapy may be prescribed through a secure telehealth process following review by a licensed provider. Your provider evaluates your medical history, symptoms, and relevant clinical information to determine whether treatment may be appropriate. If prescribed, your provider will oversee your care and may adjust your treatment plan as medically necessary.
