Breast cysts

Progesterone and breast cysts are linked through the action of estrogen. They can be caused by a low level of progesterone and a high level of estrogen and are often easily remedied with supplemental progesterone. Many cases using this therapy have resulted in the cysts disappearing within three weeks. Hormone imbalances induced by environmental poisons and the 'xenoestrogens' are often the cause.

Fibrocystic breasts are characterised by tender lumps or cysts within the breast tissue. About 60% of women are affected and usually between the ages of 30 and 50. It is rare in postmenopausal women.

Research in Poland has found a possible correlation between breast cysts and high histamine levels. Other authorities believe they are caused by imbalances between the hormones progesterone and oestrogen.

They are always benign and generally more prevalent the few days before menstruation, when the level of progesterone is very low. Normally they disappear within the first few days of bleeding. If they persist this is an indication that the level of estrogen is too high or progesterone too low. In either case using a progesterone cream can effectively get rid of them.
