4 Reasons Hormone Replacement Therapy Works
2
  • Menopause can be a difficult period in a womans
    life, during which the hormonal balance is
    disturbed, forming conditions for vascular,
    psycho-emotional, and genital disorders, and in
    addition, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and
    cardiovascular system diseases. However, hormonal
    balance disorder can appear not only in menopause
    period, and it is also important to note it can
    also be a problem for men.
  • In men, after 40 years, there occur hormonal
    changes, significantly suppressing the physical,
    sexual, and mental abilities. It is manifested
    typically in abdominal obesity and a decrease in
    muscle mass. In the worst situations, it can even
    lead to depression.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is recommended
in both cases, but they are different for men and
for women, because of gender specifics.
Generally, when referring to HRT, we have in mind
the treatment for menopause symptoms, so, as a
woman, you should know the 4 reasons why hormone
replacement therapy works
4
It greatly reduces menopause symptoms
  • Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment aimed
    at replacing, as the name suggests, the missing
    hormones in the body. After the restoration of
    hormone levels, menopause symptoms quickly
    disappear. Furthermore, HRT prevents the
    development of long-term consequences of
    menopause, such as osteoporosis and
    cardiovascular diseases.
  • It is better to start the therapy as early as
    possible when the first symptoms of menopause
    appear. To reduce the early symptoms, it is
    enough to take HRT for two years. However, for
    the prevention of osteoporosis, HRT can be used
    for at least 5-10 years after menopause.

5
It can significantly reduce the number of deaths
  • It is not an exaggeration that hormone
    replacement therapy prevented many deaths.
    According to a medical study, estrogen avoidance
    increased the number of deaths in women by
    approximately 50 000. Estrogen is an important
    body hormone for optimal functioning. As reported
    by both Time Magazine and Forbes, anywhere from
    18 600 to 91 600 women may have died prematurely
    during the menopause period over the last 10
    years because of not using estrogen replacement.

6
Statistics show HRT greatly reduces menopause
complications
  • As mentioned above, during menopause period there
    is higher probability of terrible complications
    like osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases.
    So, to make sure that hormone replacement therapy
    actually works, you can simply watch statistics.
  • The high efficiency of HRT in the treatment and
    prevention of complications arising in the
    postmenopausal period are proved by the results
    of many large-scale studies, which show that the
    risk of myocardial infarction with HRT is reduced
    by 30-35, the heart stroke by 40-45, and hip
    fractures by more than 50 (Rozenbaum H., 1996).

7
Besides Estrogen, Progesterone also shows
positive effects
  • Unlike estrogen replacement therapy alone, HRT is
    a combination of estrogen and progesterone.
    Progesterone in HRT is important because it
    prevents the uncontrolled growth and accumulation
    of cells in the Endometrium (which occurs when
    you take only estrogen), and it significantly
    reduces and may even eliminate the risk of
    uterine cancer in women who take only estrogen.
  • If you have decided to use such a treatment,
    dont forget to consult your physician!
