Menopause signals a transition in a woman's reproductive cycle, marking the end of menstruation and fertility. It typically begins in a woman's 40s or 50s as estrogen production from the ovaries declines. This reduction in estrogen and progesterone leads to physiological and psychological changes with symptoms such as:
While some women transition through menopause without debilitating manifestations, over 75% experience moderate to severe symptoms lasting from a few months to over 10 years. Untreated hormone imbalance can interfere with relationships, career, sleep, and overall wellbeing. However, with proper medical support, lifestyle modifications, and hormone therapy, many effects of menopause can be managed for an optimal quality of life.
Customized hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps supplement declining hormones, offering safe and effective relief for menopause symptoms when tailored to the individual by a specialist. Benefits include:
Treatment typically involves estrogen with or without progesterone. Types, combinations and dosages must be fine-tuned based on symptoms and health profile under a doctor's supervision with ongoing monitoring. Timing matters too - evidence shows beginning HRT before ages 60-65 or within 10 years of menopause onset provides optimal rewards versus risks.
Biodentical hormones identical to those naturally occurring in the woman's body are commonly used today. Benefits over traditional HRT include fewer side effects and better customization options. Plant-derived estrogens, progesterone creams, testosterone, DHEA and other supplements might be incorporated depending on the patient’s needs.
Hormone pellets are also growing in popularity - inserted under the skin, these rice-sized pellets dissolve slowly to provide steady hormone levels over 3-6 months. Though not right for everyone, pellets can offer convenience and consistency for some.
