HORMONE BALANCING FOR WOMEN

HORMONE REPLACEMENT?

Many people resign themselves to living with the serious symptoms caused by hormone imbalance, accepting them as an unchangeable and an untreatable part of the aging process. However, maintaining optimal levels of hormones promotes an improved quality of life and prevents many of the degenerative illnesses commonly associated with aging.

 

In order for your body to function at its full potential, it needs to produce sufficient levels of hormones. As you age, production of these hormones declines, and a wide range of symptoms can be a result: hot flashes, weight gain, lack of sexual interest – just to name a few. Hormone Therapy is used to balance these hormone levels.

 

The effective use of Hormone Replacement Therapy for the relief of symptoms caused by age-related hormone imbalances found in women, can optimize and balance hormones that are essential to good health and a feeling of well-being. By providing hormones it is possible to restore your hormones back to the balance you had in your 20′s and 30′s.

 

Although Hormone Replacement Therapy is an age old remedy, many doctors and their patients are just learning of this option. Hormone Therapy is in the forefront of age management treatment and for many doctors the newest method for helping cure much that ails the menopausal women. Testosterone Hormone replacement therapy for women is working its way into mainstream America. 

What are Hormones?

Why Use Hormones?

Hormones are compounds that have exactly the same chemical and molecular structure as hormones that are produced in the human body. Numerous studies have been done attesting to the safety of natural hormones for men and women. 
 

Depending on your symptoms and test results, you may be prescribed the hormones estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, DHEA, cortisol, testosterone or melatonin.

Hormones have been successfully used by men and women for decades. In well known medical journals, researchers have reported that the hormones, estrogen and testosterone, are not only safe but also have a positive impact on some diseases like osteoporosis and prostate cancer.

Menopause

Perimenopause

6,000 women a day get the condition.... Menopause!

 

Menopause is a condition that every healthy woman will experience as she reaches middle age, typically between the ages of 35-59. It is a natural, gradual process that occurs when a woman’s ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone, and her lifetime supply of eggs becomes depleted, meaning a full year has passed since her last menstrual cycle. Women going through menopause often experience a combination of some or all of the following symptoms:

  • Hot flashes

  • Night sweats and/or cold flashes

  • Irritability, mood swings, sudden tears

  • Loss of libido, vaginal dryness

  • Heart palpitations

  • Fatigue, anxiety

  • Urinary urgency

  • Inability to sleep through the night

  • Clammy skin

  • Depression

  • Weight gain

Perimenopause is the word that describes the time when a woman’s body transitions from her fertile, child-bearing years into middle age. During this natural transition, the body undergoes biologic changes resulting from declining ovarian hormone production.

 

Every woman’s experience is different, but common symptoms of perimenopause include:

  • Irregular menstrual periods

  • Hot flashes

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Insomnia

  • Mood swings

  • Depression

  • Weight gain
     

Menopause treatments focus on relieving your signs and symptoms and on preventing or lessening chronic conditions that may occur with ageing.

 

Hormone Replacement Therapy using Estrogen therapy remains, by far, the most effective treatment option for relieving menopausal hot flashes. Depending on your personal and family medical history, your doctor may recommend estrogen to provide symptom relief for you.
