Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy: When Is It The Right Time?
Advice and insights into signs and symptoms of hormone deficiency
According to a study by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, menopause occurs at a median age of 51 years. As women go through menopause, they experience a decline in estrogen levels, leading to symptoms such as
- hot flashes,
- mood swings,
- dryness, and
- sleep disturbances.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be an effective treatment option for women experiencing these symptoms.
A randomized controlled trial conducted by the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) found that estrogen therapy significantly reduced menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, in women aged 50 to 59. Additionally, the study found that women who received estrogen therapy had a lower risk of hip fractures and colon cancer.
Dr. Stephanie Faubion, director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Women's Health, advises women to have an open and honest discussion with their healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of HRT. She also emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups and monitoring while on HRT. Here at Creek Stone, our medical provider does regular lab checks to make certain our HRT protocol is performing as it should.
Here at Creek Stone, we use Evexipel bioidentical hormone pellets, which are a form of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) that can provide a range of benefits to women experiencing symptoms of menopause or hormonal imbalance. These small pellets are made from natural plant-based materials and are inserted jsut under the skin to release a steady stream of bioidentical hormones, which are identical in chemical structure to the hormones produced by the body.
Evexipel is identical to BioT except that Evexipel has a steroid coating to reduce any instance of the pellets being extruded. They are also inserted with an 'atramatic' procedure compared to BioT so they heal faster with little to no discomfort at all following the procedure.
This results in a more natural and consistent delivery of hormones, providing relief from symptoms such as
- hot flashes,
- mood swings,
- dryness, and
- sleep disturbances.
Evexipel pellets may also help prevent osteoporosis and improve bone density. With regular monitoring and check-ups, Evexipel bioidentical hormone pellets can be a safe and effective way to manage menopause symptoms and improve overall quality of life.
If you've been thinking about using BioT or Evexipel or are just ready to pull the trigger on it, give us a call at 806-355-3000 and let's get you set up with our medical provider for a consultation today. A simple lab test can tell you and your provider if you're a good candidate for HRT.
Get better. Faster. For Good
