Men and Progesterone
It should not be forgotten that men benefit from progesterone too. It is important to the functioning of the male counterpart of the uterus, called the prostate gland. The prostate gland can be affected by hormonal imbalance just as well as the uterus can. If men have low progesterone levels their estradiol levels can increase. This increase can lead to cancer of the prostate, just as it leads to breast and uterine cancer in women. Dr. John Lee spoke about how he found men with elevated PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels having decreases of these levels when using progesterone cream daily. There were no progressions of their prostate lesions. Many men who were putting the cream of their wives also reported that urinary frequency and urgency symptoms of prostate enlargement (BPH had decreased.
Prostate cancer has been treated by the use of hormone-suppressing drugs that reduce testosterone levels. Many times the treatment benefits last only a few years then the cancer progresses. If unopposed estrogen is known to cause endometrial cancer then why would it not be the cause of prostate cancer, since both these organs originate from the same embryonic cells? Also progesterone inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is known to stimulate prostate cell growth.
Most people consider osteoporosis to be a “women’s disease,” but according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, twenty percent of those affected by osteoporosis are men. Many studies have shown that progesterone treatment helps replace the bone density that has been lost due to osteoporosis.
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), the swelling of the prostate commonly known as prostatitis, affects 50 percent of men during their lifetimes. Progesterone treatment has been shown to shrink the prostate, alleviating the painful symptoms of BPH and allowing men to urinate more easily.
