Progesterone and dry eyes

by Evelyn
(Johannesburg, South Africa)

I started using Natpro about a month ago when a friend suggested that it might help my dry, red, scratchy eyes.

Nothing happened at first except that I started reading about progesterone on the net. Wow! I was fascinated to see that I suffer from so many of the symptoms listed for progesterone deficiency. I had assumed these were due to aging and the hysterectomy (uterus and ovaries) I had 10 years ago. I had endometriosis as a young woman which prevented me from falling pregnant and it had to be surgically removed. Then in my second pregnancy I developed toxaemia and lost the baby. I had fibroids and heavy bleeding with anaemia in my forties and was advised to have the hysterectomy as the endometriosis had returned. I was prescribed a 3,2mg pure Estradoil patch which I apply twice weekly. I was told that as I had no womb and no periods I didn't need a progesterone supplement.

As the last 10 years went by I have gradually developed anxiety, poor concentration, hot flushes and broken sleep, dry, brittle nails, loss of hair, dry vagina and loss of libido, bloating, brown patches on my hands, dry lips and eyes, and the worst part is my absolute lack of interest or enthusiasm in anything! Depression!! I hate to admit it!

FOUR WEEKS and 1 tube of Natpro have blessed me with clear shining eyes, nights when I sleep right through, shiny hair (although it is still falling out) and stirrings of interest in my husband and other hobbies long dormant! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I will continue to use it.

My question is - Should I discontinue the Estradoil patches or keep using them as my doctor says they are good for my bones and heart? THANK YOU AGAIN. I will spread the word!

Progesterone and dry eyes
by: Wray

Hi Evelyn I'm so happy the progesterone has helped you! And you don't seem to have suffered from the usual stimulatory affect it has initially, most unusual. You might like to read about it on our web page Oestrogen Dominance, as it can occur. Excess oestrogen causes dry eyes, endo, fibroids and heavy bleeding. I'm amazed they gave you the oestradiol patch, as that is only increasing the level. It doesn't surprise me you have all those others symptoms now. Oestrogen is a mitogen, causing cells to divide and multiply, it's also a pro-inflammatory hormone. Endo and fibroids are inflammatory problems and are both stimulated by oestrogen. Although long gone you might like to read our web pages on Endometriosis and Fibroids. And far from protecting you from heart disease it actually causes it. Please read our web page on HRT. And good for bones? Well these are such complicated things, it needs more than oestrogen to help! Taking oestrogen will slow the loss of bone for up to 5 years, thereafter its benefit declines. Once the oestrogen is stopped the bones quickly break down to their previous level. Progesterone, because of it?s affect on osteoblast cells, is actively involved in the building of bones. But unlike oestrogen, if the treatment is stopped the bones remain strong. There is no risk involved either, unlike oestrogen, as you'll see on our HRT page. All your symptoms, past and present, point to a severe lack of progesterone. Including the toxemia, which some believe is caused in part by a lack of progesterone. I don't believe any of us needs extra oestrogen, we are all getting far too much, it's in our food, water, air and the skin care we all use, please see the web site Our Stolen Future for more info. Take care Wray
