What You Need To Know About Menopause
When you go through menopause, your hormone levels drop. The drop in hormone levels causes changes throughout your body. Some of the most common signs and symptoms of menopause include:
- Night sweats and hot flashes
- Dry skin and thinning hair
- Thinning bones
- Loss of breast fullness
- Vaginal dryness
- Depression and mood swings
- Difficulty sleeping and insomnia
- Weight gain from a slowing metabolism
If you are experiencing any of the signs and symptoms listed above, it’s time to visit your OBGYN doctor. Your doctor may recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to supplement hormone levels.
Important advancements have been made in hormone replacement therapy. Modern hormone replacement therapy uses bio-identical hormones in a treatment known as BHRT. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is identical in structure to human hormones, and this revolutionary structure provides important benefits. Consider that BHRT:
- Can be individually dosed and customized
- Has fewer side effects
- Provides long-lasting effects, lasting from 3 to 5 months
- Creates a steady stream of hormones in your blood
BHRT has been extensively researched, tested for safety and effectiveness, and approved by the FDA. Treatment with BHRT has also been shown to increase bone density and help prevent osteoporosis. BHRT also won’t increase your risk of blood clots, a heart attack, or a stroke like other hormone replacement products can.
