As women approach menopause, the production of major hormones in the body can drastically slow down. When the levels of the hormones estrogen, progesterone and testosterone become imbalanced, physical health, including the heart and even bones, may be adversely affected. As a remedy for the low levels of these hormones, your doctor may suggest hormone replacement therapy. The experts at Thin MD Med Spa in Jacksonville are specialists in NATURAL hormone replacement (bio-identical hormone) and can help you determine if this treatment is right now you.
What Is Natural Hormone Therapy?
Natural hormone therapy is a treatment given to women who experience menopause-related symptoms. By the age of 50, a decline in the production of certain hormones may result to low sex drive, hot flashes, anxiety, and fatigue, but fortunately, natural hormone replacement therapy can help re-balance your health and help you feel great again.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Before the treatment, it is important you discuss with your doctor about your medical history and any other underlying medical condition you may have. Your doctor will also discuss what you want to achieve, and you may consider natural hormone therapy if you are experiencing:
- Weight gain
- Excessive sweating
- Mental fog
- Vaginal dryness
- Hot flashes
- Difficulties in sleeping
- Chills
- Loss in bone mass
Who Shouldn’t Use Natural Hormone Therapy?
Your doctor will help you decide when natural hormone therapy is not right for you if you previously have had:
- Liver disease
- Clots
- Cancer
- Heart attack
- Vaginal bleeding
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
1. Increased Bone Density
Estrogen and testosterone may help reverse and stop bone loss after menopause. In addition, it helps promote bone strength and new bone growth.
2. Improved Vaginal Health
Natural hormone replacement therapy may help improve the overall health of a woman’s vagina. Because of declining estrogen levels can have adverse effects on the body such as:
- Inflammation of the vaginal tissues
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal soreness and irritation
3. Increased Libido
An improvement of one’s overall health and hormone levels leads to an increase in one’s sex drive.
4. Eases Menopause Symptoms
As women approach menopause, the levels of estrogen their bodies produce decreases significantly, which makes it likely they will experience the symptoms of menopause. Some symptoms of menopause that can be treated using hormone replacement therapy include:
- Hot flashes
- Excessive sweating
- Vaginal health issues
- Anxiety
- Poor recovery from exercise
- Poor sleep
- Lack of endurance
5. Improved Cardio Health
Research has shown that people who get natural hormone replacement therapies are LESS likely to develop heart disease and stroke.
