A member asked:

I want to know if it is good to apply progesterone gel. this is for premenstrual syndrome, abdominal fat and estrogen dominance.

Gynecologist: This question is best answered by your gynecologist. Progesterone, if not really indicated medically, can have harmful effects on blood pressure for one thing. On the other hand, if your gynecologist prescribes it I would be more reassured.
