Menopause Solution for Women

The menopause refers to the time in every woman’s life when menstruation ceases completely. The ovaries output of estrogen and progesterone diminishes severely. In addition to signifying the end of a woman’s ability to have children, changing hormone levels affect the entire endocrine system. The transitional phase prior to this hormone change is called the perimenopause, it is during this stage when the levels of hormones undergo imbalances.

In addition to diminished levels of estrogen and progesterone, testosterone levels (also produced in the ovaries) are reduced during the menopause. Changing hormone levels affect the entire endocrine system that controls growth, metabolism, and reproduction. The diminution of hormone levels affects the breasts, vagina, bones, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract and skin.

Hormone Replacement Therapy - Estrogen

The most common symptoms of the menopause are:

• Hot flashes
• Vaginal and urinary tract changes
• Loss of libido
• Emotional changes
• Osteoporosis
• Cardiovascular disease

Hormone Replacement Therapy - Testosterone

Low levels of testosterone cause mental confusion, weight gain and loss of muscle mass. The effect of testosterone deficiency on the brain, muscle tone, heart and metabolism can be dangerous to long-term health. The brain requires that both estrogen and testosterone be in balance to produce serotonin, which supports emotional balance. This can lead to emotional instability that can result in anxiety, irritability, sleep disturbances, anger, sadness and depression.

The musculoskeletal system can also be affected by the loss of testosterone, which can lead to muscle atrophy, osteopenia, osteoporosis and pain in the muscles and joints.

Hormone Replacement Therapy with Pellets

The use of pellets to deliver hormones has been accepted as a superior method to treat the effects of the menopause on estrogen and testosterone. The pellets are not like the synthetic hormones traditionally used. These pellets are both natural and are biologically identical to the estrogen and testosterone your body once produced.

Our patients report the following benefits:

• Increased sexual drive
• Improved mood
• Relief of anxiety and depression
• Increased mental clarity, focus and memory
• Improved muscle tone
• Increased energy
• Increase bone density

If you have tried other methods of hormonal therapy there was probably a significant amount of inconsistency because of the imbalance in absorption found with those methods. Try the pellet delivery method and feel fantastic again.
