Hormone Therapy For Women

Hormone imbalance strikes even the healthy

Generally speaking, women are more active when it comes to maintaining their health. While many men tend to be stubborn when it comes to visiting the doctor for an annual physical or admitting to experiencing certain symptoms, women readily submit to such measures. However, when it comes to hormone deficiency, even the healthiest of women sometimes feel confused about what is happening to their bodies and are unsure of what they can do to combat it. A woman could diligently exercise, eat right and do everything it takes to reach the pinnacle of health, but with a hormone imbalance working against them, they will not look or feel healthy.

How hormones in women differ

The hormonal make up of men and women differ greatly. Women face a far different set of challenges when it comes to a shortage or imbalance of hormones. The unique hormones found in women make them more susceptible to some illnesses (i.e. osteoporosis) than men, while making it unlikely or impossible to suffer from conditions that men might.

Women also face the hormonal challenges that come with getting pregnant or going through the extreme biological change that is menopause. These shifts in hormones could lead to such ill effects as thinning hair, gaining weight and vaginal dryness. The first step to correcting these nuisances associated with hormone shortage or imbalance is educating oneself on what causes them. Our physicians at Total Rejuvenation can not only provide information on what causes certain ill effects of aging, but they also provide a means of slowing down the aging process and allowing women to gain back the youth and vitality they may feel they are lacking. Menopause and the hormonal shake-up of pregnancy might seem like unavoidable blockades in a woman’s journey through life, but their effects can be minimized through carefully-crafted hormone therapy.

Pre-menopause and menopause symptoms

As a combination of hormones begin to decrease in the female body, a woman begins to suffer from pre-menopause and menopause. This ushers in a whole host of negative symptoms that are outlined below. Pre-menopause and menopause can be held off by introducing the appropriate levels of hormone back into the body.

As women age, they start to see hormones like growth hormone, estrogen and progesterone recede. As each one of these hormones dwindle, it introduces a symptom or negative effect. Pre-menopause and menopause are brought about when the ovaries stop producing estrogen, progesterone and even the little bit of testosterone the way they once did in their younger years. Pre-menopause generally grips women in their mid-30s and 40s. Menopause is more common among women in their 50s. Depending on the woman, this major biological change can happen at varying stages of life.

Hormones power the female reproductive system. When hormones reach crucially low levels in the female body, the woman’s menstruation process ceases completely. This is process is menopause. However, symptoms can be felt before menopause as the hormone levels drop. The symptoms and condition before menopause defines what pre-menopause is. Both menopause and pre-menopause can carry symptoms so extreme that they greatly interfere in a woman’s life. Some of these symptoms include:

• Skin becomes wrinkled and dry
• Hot flashes
• Trouble sleeping
• Inability to concentrate
• Increased irritability and extreme mood swings
• Vaginal dryness
• Loss of muscle mass and weight gain
• Tender breasts

Doctors that lack experience or have not explored the benefits of hormone replacement therapy in women are often incredibly ineffective at treating these symptoms. Many doctors will prescribe medication that treats one single symptom or a group of symptoms. While this method might be successful in curing a portion of the negative effects of aging, they do not come close to curing them all. This can be attained through hormone replacement therapy, as it cures the problem from its source.

Bio-identical vs. synthetic hormones

Naturally replacing hormones in the body is key to remedying the adverse signs of aging. That is why bio-identical hormones are receiving significant attention both in the medical world and the mass media alike. Bio-identical hormones are hormones that mirror the natural hormones a human body produces. The advent of bio-identical hormones should phase out synthetic hormones that are patented and massively produced by drug companies. Because synthetic hormones are not like natural hormones, they can present many health risks and side effects.

Total Rejuvenation enlists the help of only bio-identical hormones during their hormone replacement regimens. This ensures that a patient is safely receiving the hormones that they need and will not suffer from health problems or side effects as a result. By using bio-identical hormones, it more closely mimics the natural process of hormone production in the body. Medical establishments that are now well-versed on the benefits of bio-identical hormones will implement synthetic hormones, often times compounding the problems of aging instead of fixing them.

Is hormone replacement therapy in women safe?

Debate has long carried on about the safety of hormone replacement therapy. Some circles of the medical community even suggested that estrogen and progesterone hormone replacement therapy could give women an increased risk of contracting breast cancer. Much of this debate raged before the introduction of bio-identical hormones, which quelled much of the skepticism. Synthetic hormones certainly did present their share of health risks, but bio-identical hormones covered those short-comings. Still, there are stubborn medical practitioners out there that refute the effectiveness of bio-identical hormones even when hundreds of thousands of successfully treated women say otherwise.

The physicians at Total Rejuvenation will be able to tell through a thorough screening whether or not hormone replacement therapy is appropriate for a woman. With a superior understanding of hormone replacement therapy compared to most doctors in the medical establishment, our physicians are able to offer a clearer diagnosis and prescribe the means to most effectively treat symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause.

Building the right plan to fight aging

The hormone replacement therapy methods offered by Total Rejuvenation are effective in their own right, but can be enhanced by a battle against aging, which brings into consideration diet and exercise. Sticking to the right diet – including a number of nutritional supplements – and exercising combined with hormone replacement can help restore youth and vitality for women.

The qualified physicians at Total Rejuvenation have mastered the science of replacing key hormones naturally to eliminate the symptoms of pre-menopause and menopause. Not only does hormone replacement therapy among women help them restore a more youthful appearance and maintain an appropriate sex drive, but it also helps reduce the risk of a number of debilitating illnesses they are made susceptible to by deficient levels of hormones.

With so many hormones to account for, the process of evaluating a woman’s needs is paramount in the process. Physicians cannot simply concoct a universal method of hormone replacement therapy and use it on every woman. The physicians at Total Rejuvenation will provide a thorough screening and build a program tailor-made for each individual.
