Various claims have been made about the benefits of transdermal progesterone creams for relieving symptoms of menopause. Peer-reviewed articles have reported that the creams can raise plasma progesterone levels slightly, but have no effect on vasomotor, psychosexual or mood symptoms, bone metabolism or plasma lipid levels. Currently available progesterone creams can not be recommended for treatment of symptoms associated with menopause.
关于透皮孕酮乳膏在缓解更年期症状方面的益处，已经有各种说法。经过同行评审的文章报道称，这些乳膏可使血浆孕酮水平略有升高，但对血管舒缩症状、性心理症状或情绪症状、骨代谢或血浆脂质水平没有影响。目前市面上的孕酮乳膏不推荐用于治疗与更年期相关的症状。
