Menopause can be a very difficult transition for many women. Symptoms of menopause range from hot flashes and mood swings to sleep disorders, depression, hair loss and wrinkles. On top of that, many women start to feel a sense of worthlessness because their child-bearing years have come to a close. Natural hormone-replacement treatment is a way to supplement natural hormones in order to feel more balanced. Menopause halts the production of certain hormones in females, but hormone replacement can make you feel like you again.
The idea is to supply the body with natural hormones like estrogen and progesterone when the body stops producing them naturally. Menopausal symptoms can sometimes begin as much as five to seven years before menopause occurs. Natural hormone-replacement treatments allow women to minimize menopause symptoms for a more normal life.
Replacement hormones can be administered in one of several ways. Women can administer estrogen by way of oral pills, subcutaneous pellets, intramuscular injections, transdermal patches and vaginal hormonal creams. Progesterone can be administered by way of vaginal suppositories, injections or oil.
Before you begin natural hormone-replacement therapy, it is important to know all the facts. Hormone-replacement therapy may not work for everyone, and if it does work, may work in only varying degrees. However, many women have found a significant reduction in menopausal symptoms when undergoing hormone-replacement therapy. When you visit your physician for a menopausal diagnosis, discuss all of your options.
While hormone-replacement therapy has been very beneficial for many women, there are still some controversial risks that are associated with continual therapy. The most severe include uterine and breast cancer, blood clots, liver disease and hypertension.
Natural hormone-replacement treatment provides a significant improvement in quality of life. Menopausal symptoms can hit some women hard. By replacing hormones naturally, you can create a healthier state of body and mind.
