Can BHRT help you cope with menopause?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: Is BHRT good for your health?

Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)the right choice for you? Once you enter the menopausal years (usually between the ages of 45 – 55), your levels of estrogen and progesterone decline sharply.

It can have a significant impact on emotional, mental, and physical well-being, which is why many women seek out BHRT. So what are your options, and how do you find the right BHRT program for you?

If you’re experiencing menopause and need advice about BHRT, call our doctors today at (305) 400-0005 and find out what NuLife Institute can do to help.

Common Symptoms of Menopause

In broad terms, BHRT replaces some of the lost hormones with chemically identical natural estrogen in order to counter some of the effects of menopause. The symptoms of menopause include:

In other words, menopause has the potential to negatively affect virtually every part of your life. Little wonder, then, that women seek a solution. It is most common for women to take BHRT between the ages of 50 – 60, although some women choose to take it for much longer than this.

Here’s the great news: BHRT has a good success rate. It can improve most of the symptoms of menopause and works even better if you follow a healthy lifestyle by eating healthily, taking exercise, keeping to a sensible weight, and quitting smoking and drinking too much alcohol.

Not only does BHRT ease many menopausal symptoms, but it also offers protection against cardiovascular disease (the risk increases post-menopause), osteoporosis, and possibly even Alzheimer’s disease.

Long-Term Risks of BHRT – The Facts Behind the Headlines

Although BHRT has been linked with an increase in the risk of developing breast cancer, the facts are less frightening than the headlines. In fact, the chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer as a result of taking BHRT carries a significantly lower risk factor than smoking, alcohol intake, and obesity.

The risk equates to around four extra cases per 1000 women if BHRT is taken for five years or more.

BHRT can make you feel empowered during menopause: call NuLife Institute today at (305) 400-0005 to find out more.  

In 2008, The British Menopause Society undertook a comprehensive review of BHRT and any long-term implications and published their findings that BHRT is a safe treatment. In fact, women who take BHRT for five years to help manage menopausal symptoms experience health benefits as a result rather than harm.
