I'm in Menopause: Could Hormone Replacement Therapy Benefit Me?

Menopause marks a major shift for the more than 1 million women who enter this phase of life each year. Characterized by the end of menstrual cycles, menopause ushers in significant hormonal changes that can have a life-altering impact on physical and emotional well-being. 

For many women, the symptoms of menopause — hot flashes, night sweats, cognitive impairment, mood swings, and decreased libido — can drastically reduce their quality of life. 

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has long provided women with a solution for replacing and rebalancing hormones, relieving menopause-related symptoms, and improving quality of life. 

At Executive Medicine of Texas in Southlake, Texas, the approach to managing menopause includes a personalized approach with bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy

Bioidentical hormones are made to be virtually identical in structure to the hormones your body naturally produces, making them a seamless fit for hormone replacement. When you receive bio-identical hormones, your body treats them as its own. 

These hormones can precisely target and balance hormone deficiencies, restoring hormonal health and vitality and easing you through menopause.

The benefits of pellet therapy

For women who find traditional methods like shots and creams inconvenient or ineffective, hormone pellet therapy offers an innovative solution. 

Just a bit larger than a grain of rice, these pellets go beneath the skin in the subcutaneous tissue of the upper buttock. Once in place, the pellets gradually and steadily release much-needed hormones directly into the bloodstream. 

The release mechanism provides smooth hormone delivery so you avoid receiving too much or too little at any one time. Other methods, such as gels or creams, can cause hormonal fluctuations by not distributing the hormone evenly.

The smoothness of pellet use can lead to more consistent mood levels, improved sleep, and effective control of menopause-related symptoms. Women who choose pellet therapy often report not only physical improvements but also enhancements in overall feelings of well-being.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause is a period when women are often the most symptomatic. This phase is characterized by dramatic and unpredictable swings in hormone levels. 

From day to day, women going through the perimenopause transition may experience hormone shifts that go from low to high without warning. This can cause problems with memory and cognition, energy, sleep, and mood.

If you’re having symptoms of hormonal imbalance but are still having periods, you may be in perimenopause. Talk to your team to find out if you’re a candidate for BHRT.
