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.
Rather than just prescribing estradiol, as most doctors do, we use a compounding pharmacy to provide a bi-est formula containing estradiol and estriol. Why? Because estriol is needed to moderate the influence of estradiol and ensure it is absorbed properly in the body.
Secondly, you need the correct dose of estrogen for your body chemistry. We’ll base your dosages on ongoing lab testing and fine tune them according to how you feel.
Third, remember that other hormones besides estrogen can become unbalanced during menopause. That’s why our hormone therapy for women in Tacoma WA includes options for addressing:
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Testosterone
- Thyroid
- Cortisol
- DHEA
Why You Need Bioidentical Hormones
Synthetic hormones are almost–but not quite–identical to the hormones your body would naturally produce. These small differences can lead to serious complications when synthetic hormones are used in hormone therapy for women in Tacoma WA. One of the worst synthetic hormones is progestin. The whole point of replacing progesterone is to support healthy estrogen absorption, but if the synthetic form progestin is used it actually undermines some of the heart-healthy protective benefits of estrogen. It can also cause other side effects including breast cancer, fluid retention, and hair loss. Bioidentical progesterone, on the other hand, has no side effects.
