Around the time of the menopause, declining levels of oestrogen and progesterone can bring about many symptomatic changes for women: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be an effective treatment for the typical menopause-related symptoms. There are also other long-term health problems associated with the menopause: the risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and stroke all increase after the menopause. HRT may also have an influence on these health problems. This article discusses HRT in detail. A separate article Menopause and its Management discusses menopausal symptoms, differential diagnosis and possible investigations (although the diagnosis is usually clinically based on the typical symptoms). It also discusses health problems associated with the menopause and gives an overview of management. See separate related articlesHRT- Topical. Current evidence-based guidelines advise consideration of HRT for troublesome vasomotor symptoms in perimenopausal and early postmenopausal women without contra-indications and after individualised discussion of likely risks and benefits. Starting HRT in women over the age of 60 years is generally not recommended. For women with premature (age … Continue reading →

What is estrogen replacement therapy? Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Women use ERT to help control the symptoms of menopause. Menopause is the stage in a womans life when sex hormone levels fall and her menstrual period stops. Symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, vaginal dryness, mood swings, anxiety, decreased sexual desire, fatigue, and headaches. Menopause can also cause thinning bones (osteoporosis). The two main sex hormones that a womans body makes are estrogen and progesterone. Progesterone is primarily produced by the ovaries and, in pregnant women, the placenta. The ovaries produce estrogen. Estrogen is responsible for the female sexual characteristics. It is also important for many body processes, such as maintaining a healthy heart and bones. A woman who has had her uterus removed by hysterectomy may receive estrogen alone for HRT. A menopausal woman who wants to minimize symptoms of menopause with HRT and still has her uterus must receive progesterone in addition to estrogen. Progesterone signals the uterus to shed its lining similar to a menstrual period. This decreases the risk of developing uterine cancer. ERT is only one method to treat the symptoms of menopause. … Continue reading →

Hormones in the body were designed to rejuvenate, regenerate and restore. They serve as powerful chemical messengers (communicators) sent to specific cells throughout your body to orchestrate many of your body's internal functions, as well as how your organs behave. There are many different hormones your body produces in order to achieve a balance. Even small fluctuations in levels can cause big changes in cells, or even disrupt the balance throughout your entire body. This is another reason to be cautious when selecting hormone replacement therapy. The goal should always be hormonal balance based in science, rather than experimentation or guessing. Many therapies merely attempt to replenish estrogen and/or progesterone and testosterone, but never achieve homeostasis. Too many physicians lack the expertise or knowledge to attain the proper outcome. Many endocrinologists will tell you that hormonal balance equates to health. Research continues to indicate that hormones are key to the intricate interrelationships of the body's parts and systems. They play a pivotal role in your overall health and well-being. Conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) consists of standard doses of synthetic hormones without considering each person's individual hormonal profile. Therapy should be modified in accordance with clinical and laboratory results, as … Continue reading →

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise When most men reach their 40s and 50s they begin to search for something that will give them the energy, the strength and the libido they enjoyed in their 20s. Many have found it in testosterone replacement therapy, despite the fact that men who undergo this type of treatment have a 30 percent higher risk of having a heart attack. Low T, as its now referred to, has become fashionable and an apparently easy fix for men who are looking to feel better physically and emotionally, said Colin Barker, M.D., a cardiologist with Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center. Many use the topical cream and see the benefits, but dont think about the potential risks. Testosterone is a hormone that is responsible for developing a mans reproductive tissue as well as increasing his bone mass and growth of body hair. It also gives a male his sexual drive. Men with high levels of testosterone range between 1,000 and 1,200 nanograms, while those with low levels are around 300 nanograms. A 2013 published study conducted by the Veterans Affairs (VA) Administration studied more than 200,000 men who with Low T. The study … Continue reading →
