Clinical Utility: Progesterone (P2) levels in both men and women should be monitored routinely. In women, progesterone is crucial in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy, and maintaining overall reproductive health. Even after menopause or hysterectomy, P2 plays a role in various physiological functions, such as mood regulation, bone health, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. Additionally, P2 has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties that may benefit women's health even after menopause. In men, progesterone is involved in testosterone production and plays a role in overall hormonal balance. Progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and overall well-being in both men and women.
