Understanding Menopause & How Hormone Therapy Can Alleviate Symptoms
Menopause is a natural transition women experience, but the journey isn’t always easy. At CR8 Health in Boca Raton, FL, we specialize in women’s wellness, functional medicine, and age management. In this article, we will delve into the biological changes of menopause and how hormone therapies, like estrogen replacement, can be a game changer for many.
The Biological Changes During Menopause
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically in the late 40s or early 50s. Biologically, it signifies a decline in the production of estrogen and progesterone hormones. This hormonal shift impacts more than just the reproductive system:
- Bone Density: Reduction in estrogen can lead to decreased bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
- Heart Health: The protective effects of estrogen on the heart diminish, potentially upping heart disease risks.
- Skin and Hair: Changes in skin elasticity and hair texture/thickness can be noted.
Symptoms of Menopause
Symptoms can vary but commonly include:
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
- Mood swings
- Decreased libido
- Sleep disturbances
For some, these symptoms are mild, but for others, they can severely impact daily life.
The Power of Hormone Therapy in Treating Menopause
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a groundbreaking approach to alleviate the symptoms of menopause. At CR8 Health, we create customized hormone replacement programs for our patients. HRT can be delivered in various forms including pellets, pills, creams, or injections. Our comprehensive HRT plans may include a combination of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to balance out the body’s needs for optimal health.
