Local hormone therapy : Local therapy means you apply the product to a specific area. An example of a local therapy is a vaginal cream, ring or tablet(tablets melt inside your vagina). This is especially helpful when your main symptom is vaginal dryness. Local therapy tends to come in a much lower dosage. 4, record 1, English, - local%20hormone%20therapy

If there is any "natural" progesterone in a wild yam cream, it is synthetic, but identical to the human hormone. If you buy prescription progesterone, it is synthetic but not identical, since the identical progesterone cannot be patented. The exception is the progesterone patch which usually uses natural synthetic progesterone because they can patent the delivery system "Natural" in pharmacy means molecularly identical to the real thing, even if it is synthesized. 1, record 2, English, - progesterone%20patch
