Estrogen and Progesterone Cream
Bioidentical estrogen and progesterone cream, typically supplied as a 30 mL topical cream, is a compounded hormone therapy combining two hormones: estradiol (a form of estrogen) and progesterone. It’s formulated for transdermal (skin) application and usually prescribed in customized doses based on a person’s hormone profile.
Unlike single-hormone creams, this combination aims to balance both estrogen and progesterone levels in the body — which can help mimic more natural hormone cycles for hormone-deficient individuals.
Compounded creams are custom-made by pharmacies based on a clinician’s prescription.
🌟 Benefits
Combined estradiol + progesterone topical creams are used primarily in menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) or hormone balancing protocols:
🩺 Hormonal Symptom Relief
🌡️ Eases menopausal symptoms — hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, mood swings
💦 Improves vaginal dryness, itching, and discomfort
❤️ Helps support bone and cardiovascular health as estrogen declines
😴 Progesterone helps promote sleep quality and can reduce anxiety in some patients
Balance
Estrogen replacement can be beneficial, but adding progesterone helps balance estrogen effects — especially in individuals with a uterus — reducing risk of endometrial stimulation that unopposed estrogen might cause.
