More Estrogen Isn’t All You Need to Beat Menopause Symptoms
You hear a lot about low estrogen at menopause, so you might think relieving menopause symptoms is as simple as replacing estrogen. In reality, treatment is more complicated.
First of all, you need to be sure the correct forms of estrogen are used. The most commonly replaced form of estrogen is estradiol. This strong form of estrogen can cause problems with unchecked cell growth. At Renew Youth™, we protect against this possibility by pairing estradiol with estriol, a weaker form of estrogen that helps control cell growth.
Secondly, remember that every woman’s body is different and will require a different amount of estrogen. We always provide customized dosages based on your lab results and your symptoms.
And don’t forget that other hormones besides estrogen can cause or contribute to menopause symptoms. That’s why hormone therapy for women in Redmond WA must include measures to optimize:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Thyroid
- Cortisol
- DHEA
Why You Need Bioidentical Hormones
Taking synthetic hormones, especially the synthetic form of progesterone (progestin), is extremely risky and has been shown to significantly increase the risk of breast cancer and coronary disease. Progestin also promotes some of the very menopause symptoms you may be trying to eliminate, including weight gain and hair loss. Bioidentical progesterone, on the other hand, is actually protective of breast, heart, and brain health because it helps ensure that estrogen binds to the correct receptors in the body. Bioidentical hormones in general are safer for hormone therapy for women in Redmond WA than synthetic ones because their chemical structure is identical to that of the hormones your body would naturally produce.
Why Choose Renew Youth™ for Hormone Therapy for Women in Redmond WA
Chances are, your efforts to relieve your menopause symptoms using your regular doctor have not been satisfactory. It may be very difficult to get an appointment with your doctor, and when you do, you may just be given some medication or another with a recommendation to try it out and see how you feel. This approach is not likely to address the underlying cause of your symptoms. For example, a doctor might prescribe a sleep aid for insomnia, when hormone therapy would be a better way of ensuring quality sleep without the side effects of a medication.
