Clinical FAQ
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
