Spring is in the air from the Flowers Blooming and Fresh Mowed, but the Menopausal Symptoms are Unbearable and my Mood Swings are Driving me Crazy, Is there Help for me?

Daily stress is hard enough for anyone, let alone someone going through menopause. Now let’s add the vasomotor symptoms that go along with menopause, to that same daily stress. There could be a total melt down coming on for the menopausal female.

Once you have developed hormone deficiency due to menopause. You may not even feel “normal” anymore. Some vasomotor symptoms you might experience could be;

hot flashes                         night sweats                   moodiness

crying spells                      dry skin & hair                poor cognitive function

vaginal dryness                 loss of libido                   no energy

weight gain

The every day decisions are becoming harder to make during the menopausal years. Now let’s add daily stress. The “simple” decisions on what to purchase for weekly groceries, or the hustle and bustle of the local Wal-Mart could be over whelming to say the least. If there is not enough hormone production to help you cope with the stress of everyday, how can you expect to remain sane?

Here is a quick solution to this problem. Make an appointment with your doctor or call a compounding pharmacy that can help you get the proper blood work you need to evaluate your hormone levels. Once the labs come back, you could get started right away on Bio-Identical hormone replacement (BHRT). BHRT can help with the hormone deficiency you are having. BHRT also has the exact chemical structure that your own body produces. So when you replace with BHRT, your body recognizes it as something natural. This can help to alleviate vasomotor symptoms.

Determining the correct dose is very important. If your physician does not work with BHRT often he or she may not understand how to determine an individualized dose that fits your body according to your labs and symptoms. There are some compounding pharmacies that have someone who specialize in this field and would be glad to help your doctor determine your dose.  Or look for a Free BHRT seminar in your area. Once you are on BHRT you could experience relief of symptoms as soon as a couple of days or so. Depending on what method you choose to deliver the BHRT to the body may determine how quickly you would experience symptom relief. Gaining knowledge about hormone replacement is the first step, get started today.

Hormone Deficiency

Have you been labeled with “That’s just part of aging” or “You just have to live with it”?

Every male and female will enter into menopause or andropause, which is a state of hormone loss in the body, this can bring on symptoms such as: hot flashes, night sweats, foggy thinking or short term memory loss, depression, mood swings, weight gain, low energy, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, dry skin, dry eyes, brittle hair, erectile dysfunction.  If gone untreated for years, a few symptoms may seem to lighten up, such as hot flashes and night sweats. The medical professionals tend to put a label on the other symptoms you may keep as “that’s just a part of aging”, or “well you will just have to live with it”

You should achieve normal physiological hormone levels again. Once this is achieved the symptoms mentioned above will begin to dissipate. You will feel like you again.

Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a more natural way of replenishing hormones. BHRT is the same exact chemical structure as what your body produces.
