What is the connection between progesterone levels and the development or progression of fibrocystic breast disease and how might supplementation influence symptom management or disease outcomes?
1. Progesterone balances estrogen which can mitigate fibrocystic breast symptoms. Supplementation might reduce pain and lumpiness.
2. Progesterone regulates estrogen levels, potentially easing fibrocystic breast disease symptoms. Supplementation may improve breast tissue health and reduce discomfort.
3. Elevated estrogen can lead to fibrocystic changes; progesterone helps counteract this. Adding progesterone may decrease pain and cyst formation in breasts.
Progesterone deficiency links to fibrocystic breast disease. Supplementation can balance hormones, potentially easing symptoms and reducing cyst formation.
