Hormone Replacement Therapy
The normal aging process causes a decline in hormone production. This results in imbalances that have both physical and psychological effects. Many women experience hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and mood swings during the perimenopausal and menopausal years. Other unwelcome symptoms of menopause include urinary urgency, insomnia, and dry skin and eyes.
The main hormones that regulate a woman’s body are estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Any time one or more of these hormones becomes out of balance, a woman may start to experience change.
Studies have shown that bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is beneficial for treating many of the most aggravating symptoms of menopause. It relieves hot flashes and night sweats, so you don’t find yourself hot and uncomfortable at unpredictable times. Hormone therapy also improves your sleep, and it keeps your skin moister and softer. Hormone therapy also shows benefits in protecting women against heart disease, dementia, colon cancer, stroke and diabetes. Women who take estrogen experience fewer mood changes and a greater sense of overall well-being.
We emphasize using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) options for our patients. BHRT offers benefits above and beyond conventional hormone therapy, as bioidentical hormones are produced by plants. This means they have chemical structures closer to that of the human body than the structures found in synthetic hormones. The result is a therapy process that offers few side effects and many health benefits.
