Bio-identical Hormones - Can They Help With Menopause?

By:


Often called the change of life, Menopause represents a major transition in the lives of most women. Women experience a decreased production of sex hormones, and oftentimes symptoms representative of estrogen deficiency and withdrawal are present. Most women enter menopause between the ages of 45 and 50, but it may occur anywhere between 40 and 55. Balanced Hormones and Health in Austin and Dallas has qualified doctors who have years of experience treating menopause, perimenopause, thyroid issues, adrenal fatigue and other hormonal imbalances.
Menopause describes the time of no menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months where no other biological or physiological cause is identified. The cessation of menstruation occurs as result of the loss of ovarian follicular activity. Progesterone drops with anovulatory cycles and luteal function declines. Estrogen levels fluctuate in response to rising FSH levels. Adrenal androstenedione is the primary source of estrogen after menopause.
The symptoms of menopause include a change in the frequency and volume of blood flow of the periods or actual cessation of menstrual periods. Irritability, hot flashes and night sweats, emotional mood swings, headaches, depression, insomnia, loss of sex drive and weight gain are also symptoms. Vaginal dryness and a weakening of the vaginal area tissues may also occur. More internal metabolic shifts, such as bone loss, may also occur. There are many lifestyle factors that influence the intensity of symptoms and probably even the time they appear such as a poor diet, emotional stress and lack of exercise. The great news is that now these symptoms can be treated with bio-identical hormones.
Women are now living 30 to 40 years past menopause, and this time in their lives needs critical attention.
