Don't be too quick to write off hormone therapy. It can not only improve quality of life, but can also be good for your brain, bone, breast and heart, writes Shirley Weir of MenopauseChicks — via healthing_ca
Hormone therapy is a prescription-based protocol designed to restore hormone balance. In perimenopause and post-menopause, women seeking relief from vaginal dryness, sleep and mood issues, hot flashes, heart palpitations, memory loss or brain fog, might choose hormone therapy for current symptom management, as well as a preventative approach to their long-term brain, bone and heart health.
The findings made headline news and rocked the gynecological world, leaving many physicians to question the hormone therapy protocol they had been using to restore patients’ quality of life for decades. declaring hormone therapy is safe when an individualized risk assessment is conducted, and recommends women begin hormone therapy within 10 years of menopause and before the age of 60.
I try to encourage women in my community to really question risk. Don’t make health decisions based on hearsay or headline news. Some women come to me convinced hormone therapy causes breast cancer, but yet they are completely unconcerned that seven times as many women will die of heart disease this year than breast cancer.
