Are you irritated, impatient with others, no longer fit into your favorite jeans, and find yourself crying for no reason other than you have soaked through your night clothes again? We don’t mean to make fun of menopause symptoms, but if you don’t laugh sometimes, well, you know. If you are experiencing severe menopause symptoms, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) may help you find relief.
Why Women Go Through The “Change Of Life”
Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing hormones and you no longer have periods. These hormonal changes create “chaos” in a woman’s body. It can start as early as a woman’s thirties or forties, but the average age is fifty-one. Once you have gone through 12 months without a period, you are officially menopausal.
Impossible To Escape It
If you know a woman who has gone through menopause, then you know all about menopause symptoms. Not every woman experiences all of the symptoms below, but for many women, they can be severe. If you are in your forties, you may be about to experience perimenopause. Pay attention because here is what’s coming.
The most common symptoms include:
- Vaginal dryness
- Trouble sleeping
- Mood changes
- Fatigue
- Lower libido
- Weight gain
- Hot flashes
Hormone Optimization
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy relieves peri- and postmenopausal symptoms by rebalancing and optimizing a woman’s hormones.
BHRT utilizes hormones that match those made in the human body. Bioidentical testosterone pellet therapy is one example of BHRT that can help numerous menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, fatigue, and low sex drive. The pellets are inserted just under the skin, usually in the upper buttocks, They typically last for 3 to 6 months and can be inserted during a quick office visit.
Bioidentical hormone therapy in the form of tablets, capsules, creams, and injections are beneficial for many women. The main advantages of pellet therapy for women who desire testosterone therapy, is that pellets provide consistent delivery and are more convenient for those with a busy schedule.
With BHRT optimization, therapy is customized to balance each woman’s hormones and to fit her specific needs.
