Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Progesterone
I am a 67yr old woman, and started to use over the counter progesterone cream. I have noticed that my blood sugar levels are elevated(I am borderline diabetic and been controlling by diet). I also having a lot of bone pains and stiffness along with weight gain. My whole body just feels puffy, and having difficulty sleeping at nights. I have been using this cream for 2 months. I had a partial hysterectomy in my last thirties, and a benign cyst removed from my breast in my early forties. Is it safe to continue with the use of this cream

Hi,
Better to drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Take pantoprazole and levosulpiride combination. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Take only home-based freshly prepared food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar, Pulmonologist
