Why Menopausal Hormone Therapy Is Good

For postmenopausal women, hormone therapy is great because it helps to manage the side effects of menopause symptoms as well as prevent bone loss and risk of fracture. It is easy to treat menopause symptoms with hormone therapy.

This is also known as hormone replacement therapy or HRT.

Why Bio-Identical Hormone Pellet Therapy is Better than Estrogen Therapy

There are two types of hormone therapy: systemic hormone therapy and low-dose vaginal products are the main types but they can come with many health risks and side effects, such as:

Risk of Breast Cancer

Menopausal hormone therapy, like systemic estrogen therapy, can lead to breast cancer. 80% of breast cancers are estrogen-receptive and there it

Heart Disease

Heart attacks and strokes can occur from estrogen replacement therapy and other problems.

Endometrial cancer

HRT can increase the risk of endometrial cancer for women who still have a uterus, and that is why progesterone is given to lower that risk.

Blood Clots

Women who take hormone replacement therapy like estrogen therapy can end up with their blood clotting, which can lead to serious problems. Blood clots can cause damage to the body’s organs and lead to strokes, heart attacks, and even death.

Uterine Cancer

Estrogen therapy can also lead to uterine cancer and needs to be taken with progesterone to lower the risks.

That is why hormone replacement therapy HRT can be a huge risk factor but it hugely depends on three factors:

Medical history AND FAMILY medical history

Your medical history and that of your family can tell your doctor a lot about whether your risks of complications are high. Usually, if you have already suffered from the aforementioned problems then you have a higher chance of having these conditions. The same goes for your family.

Age and Combined hormone therapy

If you start estrogen therapy to relieve symptoms at age sixty or older or ten years after you hit menopause, then your risks are higher. And the risks are lower if you are less than sixty or started estrogen therapy within ten years of hitting menopause to treat menopause symptoms.

If you are only taking estrogen, then your risks are higher than they would be if you were taking both estrogen and progesterone. This is called combination therapy.
