What are the implications of progesterone therapy for women with thyroid disorders and how might it influence thyroid hormone production, metabolism, or symptoms?
Progesterone therapy can modulate thyroid function by enhancing thyroid hormone activity. It helps balance estrogen which can improve thyroid hormone efficiency and alleviate some symptoms.
Progesterone therapy can affect thyroid function by enhancing the enzyme that converts T4 to the more active T3, potentially improving symptoms of hypothyroidism.
