Menopause and Perimenopausal & Estrogen Replacement?
Menopause is a real journey, and every woman travels through it differently. It is defined as the permanent end of menstruation and fertility, officially occurring 12 months after a woman’s last menstrual cycle. The physical and emotional symptoms of menopause often range in severity, most of which can be successfully treated. Research has shown benefits to the use of Bio-identical hormones , hormones with the identical chemical composition to the body’s natural hormones.
Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone replacement therapy remain the most effective treatment options for relieving menopausal symptoms. Menopause itself requires no medical treatment; however, treatment is focused on relieving the symptoms and preventing or lessening the chronic conditions that occur with declining hormone levels. Disease processes such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer’s increase in the absence of estrogen. The rapid bone loss after menopause has been attributed to the decline in the production of estrogen, which is essential for bone growth. In addition, the loss of estrogen results in the development of heart disease, which is the number one killer of both men and women. Postmenopausal women on estrogen have a 70% decrease in mortality from heart disease.
