Most women dread going through menopause. Everyone has heard the horror stories of tremendous hot flashes that send a woman running for the nearest fan or turning the air conditioner down to freezing. Not to mention mood changes, grumpiness, unexplained tears, night sweats and decreased libido. However, it doesn’t have to be all bad. With hormone replacement therapy, you can get back to being yourself again.
Conflicting Information
There have been many studies on the effects of hormone replacement therapy for women who are premenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal, and the results and opinions on the results are confusing and conflicting, depending on who you talk to. Prior to 2002 doctors often prescribed hormone replacement for women without worry. But, after a report was released in 2002 by the Women’s Health Initiative, this all came to an end because their research showed that the therapy of estrogen and progestin caused an increase of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke, among other things.
No one paid much attention to the report also finding that it protected women against fractures. Not much attention was given either to the fact that the average age of the participants was 73, the health of the participants prior to the study, or that the studies were done with synthetic hormones. Although, most experts will say that the study was useful, the results should not be taken as gospel because the background information on the participants that was not taken into account.
A More Refined Process
These days, physicians have learned that hormone therapy is not a one-size-fits all process and is safe for short-term use. When a woman’s blood is analyzed, a custom made therapy can be designed that will meet her body’s specific needs. In addition, natural hormone replacement, that is laboratory created hormones made from plants that match human hormones exactly, is found to be much more effective and have fewer side effects than synthetic hormones.
