"The Potential Benefits of Progesterone for Perimenopausal Women"
Micronized oral progesterone may reduce night sweats and improve sleep quality in perimenopausal women, according to a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. The study found that women who received progesterone experienced a significant decrease in night sweats and improved sleep compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in vasomotor symptoms between the two groups. The researchers recommend oral micronized progesterone at a dose of 300 mg at bedtime for women who have menstruated within the last year and are bothered by night sweats and sleep disturbances.
