Understanding Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are usually benign (non-cancerous) smooth muscle tumors which occur in the womb (uterus). They are also referred to as leiomyoma, leiomyomata, or myoma. Fibroids usually occur in groups; it is uncommon to have just one fibroid tumor. They can grow inside the uterus, within its walls, or on its outer surface. Fibroids are the major cause of hysterectomies (removal of the womb).
Fibroid growth is associated with too much estradiol, the most active form of estrogen hormone produced by the ovaries, and too little progesterone. This hormonal imbalance is most common during perimenopause, which takes place from age 35 to 50 in most women.

Personal Assessment Tools
- Female Progesterone Deficiency Self-Assessment: The Progesterone Deficiency Assessment questionnaire is a 18 question symptom-based assessment tool used to assess the severity of symptoms due to progesterone deficiency in premenopausal, peri-menopausal and menopausal women. It examines physical and emotional aspects generally associated with hormonal changes from the age 35 onwards.
The symptoms of estrogen dominance can vary widely from woman to woman and start many years prior to reaching menopause. Each womans transition into menopause is different. Some women have mild, early menopause symptoms. Other women find the quality of their lives significantly affected by changes in mood, memory, productivity, and by uncomfortable physical symptoms. Use the Progesterone Deficiency Assessment Questionnaire by checking one box for each symptom then view the chart at the bottom of the questionnaire and discover the Action Steps that may be right for you.Evaluate your symptoms with the Female Progesterone Deficiency Self-Assessment

Hello,
I have bought your cream for two months now and I am very pleased with the results. I'm not tired and my sex drive is back to normal. My doctor had me on Testim which did not work as well. My wife started using the female cream and had the same results. We use extremely small doses just enough so that we feel youthful and not tired. My question is regarding the cream. What is the difference between the female cream and the male? I don't mean to sound like a cheap jerk but we have limited funds right now just like everyone else. If the male cream is the same product just stronger it would only make sense for us to buy that for her and reduce her amount to equal what she was taking but the tube would last twice as long. Is this logic correct?
Thanks so much,
- Richard P.

Our response:
The only real differences are the concentrations of testosterone between the 3 testosterone creams available.
We often recommend 2% AndroForte testosterone cream for women but the 5% cream is too strong and the dangers of an overdose with the 5% cream make it inadvisable for it's use by women.
Hoping this information helps you.
