Reclaim Balance & Vitality with Hormone Replace
Attention women ages 40’s and 50s…. Your Menopause should be treated and not delayed!
Here is why!
The evidenced based benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) go far beyond treating hot flashes and night sweats. Replacement of your body’s hormones estrogen and progesterone during menopause can impact your health far into your 60s, 70s, and 80s. These hormones have had important functions in your body since puberty. Taking them away creates a serious change in your body’s function, risk for diseases, and how you age!
Evidence suggests that by starting hormone replacement therapy in the years before menopause, you may have long term benefits of:
- Reducing your risks of ovarian and uterine cancer
- Reducing your risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures
- Reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases like high cholesterol, hypertension, heart failure, and coronary artery disease which is the leading killer of women!
- Reduce your risk of developing depression or mood disorders
- Reduce your risk of developing dementia and cognitive decline
- Reduces your risk of bladder infections and uro-gynecological health issues
- Reduces all-cause mortality
What else can hormone replacement do for you? Studies have indicated you may experience:
- Improved skin repair and elasticity, stimulated collagen and elastin production, slows skin aging, and reduces rate of wrinkle development
- Improves libido, sex drive, and vaginal health
- Improves sleep quality, energy levels, and mental clarity
- Improves and stabilizes mood; reduces anxiety like symptoms
- Improves digestion and metabolism
- Slows rate of muscle and bone loss
- Helps maintain healthy weight
- Improves cardiovascular function by improved vessel elasticity, reduce blood pressure, and reduce cholesterol levels
- Overall slows rate of aging
Why you shouldn’t wait for a consultation! The average age of menopause is 51.
Once menopause has begun, women may have only a 10-year window to begin hormone replacement therapy; after that, it may be too late to get these benefits.
According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) and the North American Menopause Society (NAMS), most women are eligible for treatment; and hormone replacements short- and long-term benefits greatly outweigh the risks for most women.
It is critical to begin a menopause conversation starting in your 40s. Keep in mind, each woman’s dosing, treatment, and response to HRT is individualized by a custom plan based on your goals, risk factors, and symptoms.
Please reach out today to schedule a consultation visit with Cabinet Peaks Medical Centers women’s health provider, Riley Black, DNP, to evaluate your eligibility for HRT.
