HGH Replacement Service - Looking For The Best Answer For Your Menopause Symptoms

Posted by green baby on May 11, 2010

Hormone replacement therapy can give some much needed assistance to decrease the distress menopause can cause to the body. These symptoms are due to the body aging and producing less estrogen. This treatment has been prescribed for many years. This therapy can use one or more medications to help balance the estrogen levels in the body.

This treatment is predominantly prescribed to women entering menopause for short-term use to relieve the problems associated with the onset of it. By short term, this would be considered one year, although some women can get it for up to five years. It has also been used on younger women who have had a hysterectomy or other medial condition that requires hormone replacement for longer-term treatment.

HRT is a common abbreviation for hormone replacement therapy. This therapy can protect the body from osteoporosis. It has been clinically proven to also reduce the danger of heart disease and cancers that start in the intestines and rectal areas. Studies have even shown it decreases the chance of Alzheimer’s disease.

Essentially, this treatment is a cocktail of one or more synthetic estrogen replacements. Commonly it contains estrogen with synthetic progesterone, and sometimes can even include low doses of testosterone. Although made in a laboratory, once these have been added to the body’s system, they will be absorbed as a naturally produced hormone, not as a chemically altered one.

There have been major studies on the use of HRT for menopause and it has been found that there are some serious risks involved in using this treatment. If you are given this as an option, discuss any concerns you have with your doctor to fully address them and answer any questions you may have. If you are taking them, you should also discuss this with your doctor before stopping the treatment. While there are indeed proven risks with this treatment, the benefits provided by hormone replacement therapy may outweigh the risks.

You may have a greater chance for having gall bladder disease and increased blood pressure while taking an HRT. If you have a family history of breast cancer, this can increase the risk for that. Speak to your doctor and become educated about all the risks associated with this therapy, and ask how they apply to you personally based on your own medical past and family history.

While the risks are a major concern, HRT is still the leading and most effective treatment for severe symptoms associated with menopause. A low estrogen dose may be able to relieve night sweat and hot flashes and enable you to sleep at night. It may also decrease urinary symptoms, including the need to go and minor incontinence, as well as keep the vagina from atrophying and becoming painfully dry.

This hormone replacement service is not a treatment that everyone should use. If it is one you want, or can use with good results, then it can give you more options in dealing with menopause. A good understanding of both the risks and benefits of hormone treatment therapy can help you decide if it is right for you.
