Does someone you know want or need hormone therapy but is worried about taking synthetic medications?
Hormone imbalance can cause a host of issues for people of all genders, but women especially feel the effects of hormone changes throughout their lives. They must have the proper balance of progesterone, testosterone, tri estrogen and DHEA throughout their lives in order to thrive.Â
As women reach menopause, the body naturally produces less estrogen and progesterone, which leads to a severe imbalance in some women. Other women experience these imbalances earlier in life. Read on to learn about some of the most common hormonal issues women have that can be alleviated with the help of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.Â
Women going through menopause experience several uncomfortable symptoms, some of the worst of which are hot flashes, mood swings and disrupted sleep. These symptoms can happen for several years after a woman’s last menstrual period, though they tend to be most severe during perimenopause, the first phase.Â
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can bring estrogen and progesterone, the two hormones that shift the most during menopause, into balance with the other female sex hormones, eliminating the worst of the menopause symptoms.Â
Hormonal imbalances can cause fatigue and mood swings. This can begin happening long before menopause, especially in women with hormone-related disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and anovulation. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can help stabilize moods and energy levels by creating an optimal hormonal balance.Â
One of the most noteworthy symptoms of hormone imbalance is negative changes in sex drive and enjoyment. Significant changes in sex drive, more often than not, are directly caused by hormones. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can bring the reproductive hormones back into balance, leading to increased libido and sexual satisfaction.Â
Losing weight with a hormonal imbalance can feel nearly impossible. Balancing hormones with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has been shown to regulate metabolism, which makes weight management efforts easier. If all other forms of attempting weight loss have failed, it might be time to try a hormone replacement therapy program.Â
Having out-of-balance hormones can generally cause disturbances in physical and mental health. A few potential benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy include a reduced risk of osteoporosis and endometrial hyperplasia and a positive impact on cardio health. The risk of these diseases and many others are exacerbated by hormone imbalances.Â
