Progesterone Restoration Therapy in London & Surrey

Levitas Clinics – Leaders in Hormone Optimisation and Progesterone Restoration for Women and Men

What is Progesterone?

Progesterone is an essential hormone that is often misunderstood and overlooked. While most people think of it only in relation to fertility and the womb, its influence goes far beyond reproduction.

At Levitas Clinics – leading hormone specialists in London and Surrey – we provide progesterone restoration therapy to support health, balance, and longevity in both women and men.

Why Do We Need Progesterone?

Progesterone plays a vital role in many systems of the body:

PStimulates osteoblasts (bone-building cells), protecting against osteoporosis
PProvides greater bone protection than oestrogen in some studies
PHas calming effects on the brain, supporting sleep and reducing anxiety
PBalances oestrogen, reducing heavy periods and inflammation in women
PSupports mood, libido, and emotional stability
PUnlike synthetic progestins, bioidentical progesterone is safe and protective

Even after menopause, when ovarian production stops, only minimal amounts are made by the adrenal glands — not enough to maintain whole-body health.

Why Men Also Need Progesterone

Most people don’t realise that progesterone is just as important for men, though required in smaller amounts.

PProgesterone in men helps balance oestrogen and testosterone, preventing hormone dominance.
PIt plays a protective role in the brain and nervous system, supporting calmness and reducing anxiety.
PProgesterone helps men regulate prostate health, lowering the risk of enlargement.
PIt may also reduce the risk of male breast cancer.
PLow progesterone in men can contribute to sleep problems, mood swings, and reduced vitality.

At Levitas Clinics – leaders in men’s hormone restoration therapy in London and Surrey – we assess progesterone as part of our bespoke plans for male hormone optimisation. This makes our approach more complete than standard testosterone-only clinics.

Symptoms of Low Progesterone in Women

Declining progesterone can cause:

$Insomnia and poor sleep
$Brain fog and lack of focus
$Anxiety and mood swings
$PMT and heavy or painful periods
$Fluid retention and bloating
$Low libido
$Headaches and migraines
$Hair thinning or loss
$Persistent fatigue
$Increased inflammation and joint pain

Symptoms of Low Progesterone in Men

In men, low progesterone may show as:

$Difficulty sleeping
$Anxiety or irritability
$Decline in sexual drive
$Enlarged prostate (BPH)
$Fatigue and low energy
$Mood instability

By restoring progesterone to optimal levels, men can benefit from improved balance, energy, and long-term protection.

Progesterone vs Progestin – What’s the Difference?

Bioidentical Progesterone	Synthetic Progestin
Identical to the body’s natural hormone	Chemically altered, not the same as human progesterone
Builds bone (stimulates osteoblasts)	Weaker bone benefits
Calms brain & nerves → better sleep & less anxiety	Linked to mood swings & irritability
Protects breasts & prostate	Linked to increased cancer risk in studies
Balances oestrogen safely	Can worsen oestrogen’s side effects
Safe long-term with monitoring	Often linked to bloating, headaches, clot risk

👉 Summary: Bioidentical progesterone is natural and protective. Progestins are synthetic and can cause risks.
At Levitas Clinics London & Surrey, we only use bioidentical progesterone for safe, effective hormone optimisation in both men and women.
