Is It Time For Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Aging can bring many changes. One of those is the loss of some hormone functioning and their decreasing supply within the body.

This can result in a variety of negative effects on women. The cognitive, physical, and emotional side effects of menopause in women can be incredibly uncomfortable and debilitating.

Hormone replacement therapy can help by alleviating, if not reversing, many negative symptoms.

How Menopause Affects Women 

The menopausal transition, the time leading up to your final period, can be incredibly uncomfortable. Typically, beginning between the ages of 45 to 55, though it can begin earlier, women may suffer extreme side effects of this process.

Common symptoms of the menopausal transition are:

• • • Hot flashes can disrupt sleep and can last up to 10 minutes
    • Changes to your period, such as longer-lasting periods or periods that happen close together
    • Incontinence as menopausal symptoms can cause loss of bladder control
    • Disruptions to sleep 
    • Vaginal health can also be affected, leading to disruptions to your sex life
    • Changes in mood and cognition could be more difficult to think and others have reported ‘not feeling like themselves.’
    • Increased chance of osteoporosis

These are just a few of the changes one can expect with menopause. Though your symptoms may differ, the negative effects of menopause are a direct result of hormonal fluctuations and improper functioning.
