Frequently Asked Questions
Hormone therapy is a treatment that involves supplementing the body with natural hormones that are no longer being produced in sufficient quantities. The most significant benefits of BHRT are to slow the aging process and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, high cholesterol, Alzheimer’s, autoimmune disorders and allergies to name a few. Most women seek hormone therapy because they do not feel heard by their doctor and are not finding relief with traditional medicine. Common symptoms BHRT treats are hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and reduced sex drive.
Hormone levels begin to decline in your thirties and continue to decline with age. It is worth noting that many women begin BHRT after menstruation has ceased, primarily due to a lack of awareness regarding the option to initiate it at an earlier stage. The optimal timing for starting BHRT is individualized and typically aligns with the onset of symptoms, often during perimenopause or soon after menopause begins. Research suggests a "window of opportunity" for initiating BHRT, ideally within 10 years of menopause onset or before age 60, to balance benefits and risks effectively. The decision is influenced by the severity of menopausal symptoms, bone health considerations, personal and family medical history, and individual preferences.
HRT can offer significant benefits, but it is important to have an evaluation with a healthcare professional to understand the risks and benefits in your specific case. If you've gone through surgical menopause and your ovaries were removed or your menstrual cycles stopped prior to 45, then your body has had less exposure to hormones compared to women who go through menopause at the usual age. In such cases HRT may be right for you. It helps in reducing the risk of various health issues, including osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke, dementia, and mood fluctuations.
Hormone imbalances can contribute to weight gain, increased belly fat, making it difficult to lose weight. Restoring hormone balance may help achieve sustainable weight loss. There are also certain hormones in your brain and stomach that control hunger and these hormones can also be addressed with hormone therapy.
Results vary depending on the individual, but most people can expect to see improvements within a few weeks of starting treatment.
