If you’ve had a hysterectomy, do you still need progesterone? 🤔
Technically, no — there’s no uterus left to protect from unopposed estrogen. But progesterone does more than just protect the uterine lining.
Low progesterone can contribute to anxiety, insomnia, low mood, and that brain fog so many women experience in perimenopause and menopause.
Estradiol is often the star of the show, but progesterone still has a role for many women, even after a hysterectomy.
Whether it belongs in your hormone plan depends on your symptoms, labs, history, and goals. It’s worth a conversation with a provider who understands midlife hormones.
