Do you suspect a hormone imbalance?

As women age, their bodies may reduce the production of key hormones. When these hormones drop to unhealthy levels, it can lead to a hormone imbalance. Conditions like menopause, adrenal fatigue, and other hormone deficiencies are often caused by improper hormone levels. Maintaining a perfect hormonal balance is crucial for a woman’s body to function at its best.

Xbody Health & Wellness found that hormone therapy for menopausal women could raise the risk of heart attack, stroke, blood clots, and some cancers. For instance, women aged 50 to 59 have a lower risk of blood clots and strokes compared to older women using hormone therapy. Hormone therapy is effective for treating several menopausal symptoms, like hot flashes, while topical hormones (such as patches, gels, and creams) are often effective for vaginal dryness and pose less risk. Ultimately, women up to age 59 and within 10 years of menopause might benefit from hormone therapy, but it is crucial to discuss it with a healthcare provider.

Are There Specific Menopause Health Issues?

Beyond the common symptoms of menopause, women can encounter new health challenges during this phase. Estrogen plays a role in protecting against heart disease, and as estrogen levels decline during menopause, the risk of heart disease increases. Women are also generally more susceptible to osteoporosis, and in the first few years after menopause, bone density can decrease rapidly, heightening the risk of fractures. Additionally, the tissues of the vagina and urethra lose elasticity after menopause, increasing the risk of stress incontinence and urinary tract infections. Metabolism also slows down, making weight gain more likely in postmenopausal women.

Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance

In the past, the symptoms women experienced due to hormonal changes were often dismissed as normal signs of aging and considered unavoidable and untreatable. However, this is not true. More extensive research has shown that many of these ailments are actually caused by improper levels of female hormones. This is why hormone therapy for women can be an effective method for improving well-being.

By adjusting hormone levels to their optimal range, BHRT can alleviate many symptoms related to menopause, adrenal fatigue, and other hormonal imbalances.
