MENOPAUSE can be a difficult time for women, their partners and families. The range of feelings experienced during this time can be surprisingly debilitating, causing distress, anxiety and pressure on relationships, both at home and work. Taman Desa Medical Centre consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Ong Hean Choon said menopausal women go through medical issues short-term (six months to two years after menopause), medium-term (two to five years) and long-term (five years onwards). Short-term issues are the vasomotor complaints which include hot flushes, sweating, insomnia and emotional mood swings. All these are very distressing and disturbing to menopausal women and they can be irritable as well, said Dr Ong. Medium-term issues comprise psychological, bladder and vaginal problems which are related to sexual problems. They may also have dry, lustreless and dull skin. Meanwhile, long-term issues include cardiovascular diseases, bone problems, osteoporosis and fractures. Women are also prone to colon cancer during this stage of menopause because of low oestrogen levels. They may experience deterioration of brain function which include memory lapses and lack of concentration especially when reading or doing work. Then there are issues like arthritis as well, he adds. LONG-TERM CONCERN Dr Ong, also a menopause consultant, believes … Continue reading →

by Jennifer Kraus Consumer Investigator NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Stunning new allegations have been made against the former owners of HRC Medical which once claimed to be the world's largest hormone replacement company. The Tennessee Attorney General sued the company last fall for putting patients' lives in danger after NewsChannel 5 Investigates exposed how some had been overdosed on hormones and experienced serious side effects. The state has accused the owners of HRC of cleaning out the company's bank accounts and leaving nothing for the victims of HRC. In an unsealed amended complaint, the Tennessee Attorney General said brothers Don and Dan Hale not only raided HRC Medical's accounts last year with their families, but also transferred all of its assets to other entities they still controlled and intentionally left the company insolvent. The state said the Hales took almost $2 million from the company -- money the state had hoped to use to compensate patients who suffered serious health complications from HRC's hormone replacement therapy. Former patients, like Roger Wyatt, told NewsChannel 5 Investigates back in November of 2011 how his personal doctor told him, "By their own laboratory standards, you've been severely overdosed with testosterone." According to the state's … Continue reading →

By Kathryn Doyle NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Ovarian cancer rates in the U.S. began to decline faster in 2002 around the time many older women went off hormone replacement therapy, according to a new study. That year, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) found that estrogen or estrogen plus progestin hormone therapy, prescribed for the symptoms of menopause, was linked to an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke and heart attack. In a new analysis using census data, researchers found that ovarian cancer rates were falling by about one percent each year before 2002, then dropped by more than two percent per year. The findings don't mean there's a cause-effect relationship between ovarian cancer and the hormone treatments, lead author Hannah Yang of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, told Reuters Health by email. But the association is compelling, she said. "Understanding exposures, such as (hormone therapy), within at-risk populations is useful for overall cancer prevention and control strategies, particularly for tumors that are difficult to treat, such as ovarian cancer," Yang said. She and her colleagues used cancer incidence in North America data combined with census data to compare the yearly percent change in ovarian cancers from 1995 … Continue reading →

Washington, May 13 (ANI): A physician specializing in bioidentical hormone therapy has offered some tips to deal with dyspareunia, the technical term for pain during sexual intercourse, which can be related to mental or physical causes. Dr. Jennifer Landa, Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD that specializes in bioidentical hormone therapy, noted that women might experience painful intercourse at some point in their lives, the Fox News reported. If you experiences pain during intercourse, she suggests consulting physicians to determine the root cause and devise an effective treatment plan. For some of the most common reasons for painful sex, there are simple solutions that can get your sex life back on track. The first problem is 'Vaginal dryness'. According to her, poor vaginal lubrication is classically linked to insufficient levels of estrogen, which tend to decline following pregnancy, during menopause and with treatments for breast cancer. It can be a result of more serious conditions, such as the autoimmune disease, Sjogren's syndrome, Dr. Landa, who is the author of "The Sex Drive Solution for Women" said. She has suggested several treatment options for vaginal dryness, which include hormone therapy, taking adequate amounts of mono- and polyunsaturated fats in your diet, staying … Continue reading →

New research has examined the cognitive effects of hormone therapy on memory, language, and concentration in menopausal women. The study, published in the journal Menopause, examined the effects of HRT E2D, a combination of the hormones estradiol and drospirenone. Early postmenopausal women aged between 49 and 55 who had never used HRT were assessed over a six-month period. According to a release from Monash University in Australia where the research was conducted, Professor Susan Davis noted that there had long been debate about the safety of hormone replacement therapies and the potential adverse effects on cognitive function in women. These findings are reassuring for women, Professor Davis said. We report, for the first time, that drospirenone combined with estradiol has no overall effect on the cognitive performance of postmenopausal women examined over a 26-week period. Although hormone replacement therapy is no quick fix to the challenge of menopause, it does show that the E2D treatment can be useful in the overall management of menopause, and without adversely effecting cognitive ability.
