Estrogen replacement for menopausal women has been available
for more than 50 years yet less than 5% of those who qualify for estrogen
replacement therapy (ERT) take estrogen. “Why not?” you ask. The problem is
definitely a combination of misconception by the patients in light of all the
negative press from the Women's Health Initiative Study (WHI) and a lack of
information about alternative therapies by the treating physician. The
following discussions will hopefully offer enlightening information on
menopause, sex drive, pelvic pain, heart disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's,
migraine and even heavy menstrual flow because "HRT is safe!!"
Why Bio-identical Hormones work so well to Treat
Women's Menopausal Diseases!
Since the discovery of the primary bio-identical
female hormone, estradiol, efforts have been made by the pharmaceuticals
industry to develop more variety of HRT, for their constituents, our
patients. Estrogen, or estrogen replacement therapy, ERT, is
differentiated from b-ERT which is bio-identical estradiol therapy.
For menopausal women ( over 50 years of age), and
pre-menopausal women (over 40 years of age) there is a profound drop in
natural estradiol and other female hormones: testosterone and progesterone,
Testosterone drops 80% before menopause, estradiol falls 95% in the
menopause and progesterone becomes almost non-existence. Hormones
relieve symptoms because the LACK OF THESE HORMONES causes these susceptible
individuals to have management disease. We propose you collect your
symptoms, present them to your physicians, draw the blood tests and start
taking the appropriate supplement until you are 1) feeing better and 2)
record blood values back in he normal-to-upper-normal hormonal.
That is the essence of the book "Staying Healthy!!
Why Bio-identical Hormones Work to
We might forget that without the surge of estrogen in the
teen years, there would be no women and no human race. These same
biological hormones are necessary for everyday existence and well being.
While the lack of estrogen is well recognized with menopause: hot flash,
moodiness, vaginal dryness, irritable bladder, the subtle changes that occur on
the path to menopause are often nearly invisible. Therefore, we as physicians
and researchers study known disease states, like breast cancer and heart
disease, and try to correlate the disease to the absence or excess of some
'thing.' Large studies of women who have had heart disease show that the
removal of the ovaries in the 40's doubles, actually increases the risk of heart
disease by 2.2 fold in the next twenty years. And that Nurses' study was with
170,000 volunteers! So, we can logically conclude, the presence of
natural, bio-ERT is of great benefit. And not only heart disease, but
stroke, diabetes, lupus, and dramatically Alzheimer's disease are much more
often present in those without natural or naturally replaced estrogen
(estradiol).
