Menopause Treatment

As women age, their hormone production declines & they lose both testosterone and estrogen. Signs of aging and other serious health issues may soon appear if they choose not to do any form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Women commonly have a low risk for cardiovascular disease until Menopause which we are seeing can be anywhere from early 40’s upwards, when their hormone levels – particularly estrogen – plummet and the ratio of estradiol to estrone goes haywire. Menopause, and the resulting hormone decline and estrogen imbalance, are also associated with osteoporosis, breast cancer, and other serious health issues.

Research indicates that, besides heart and artery protection, hormone replacement therapy to rebalance estrogen levels can protect against cognitive decline during aging, and perhaps even against Alzheimer’s disease. The most common reason as to why women are at higher risk for developing Alzheimer’s is their reduced estrogen production after Menopause.

But epidemiological research has also linked hormone replacement therapy with a decline in the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, as well as osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes and many other serious health problems.

Hormone replacement therapy naturally restores the correct amount and balance of a woman’s hormones. This can restore a woman’s quality of life by eliminating the frustrating symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, decreased energy, low sex drive, weight gain and more.

Menopause is the end of the female reproductive cycle and is commonly diagnosed when a woman has not had her period for 12 months. The average age for the onset of Menopause is 51, but it can also occur as early as the late 30s.

The method of determining if a woman is in Menopause is to measure the amount of follicle stimulating hormone levels in the blood. Leading up to Menopause, the ovaries produce fewer & fewer hormones, which causes a variety of changes in a woman’s body.

Surgical removal of the ovaries and other medical conditions and treatments can also induce Menopause. The fluctuations in the hormones estrogen, testosterone and progesterone can cause your periods to become irregular and sometimes heavy. Other symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, brain fog, weight gain, increased belly fat, and headaches can soon follow.

However, hormone replacement therapy naturally restores the correct amount and balance of a woman’s hormones. Hormone replacement therapy can restore a woman’s quality of life by eliminating the frustrating symptoms of menopause and hormone decline. Even better, hormone therapy can reduce a woman’s risk of developing life threatening illnesses such as osteoporosis, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and more.
