Your Path to Optimized Hormones
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women: An Overview
Hormone replacement therapy for women, sometimes called hormone replacement or simply HRT, helps replenish the body’s natural hormones that decline during menopause. Also called menopause hormone therapy, this approach is FDA-approved as a first-line treatment to help women manage moderate to severe menopausal symptoms.
According to The Menopause Society (formerly the North American Menopause Society) and many healthcare professionals, menopause hormone therapy is generally recommended for women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset who are experiencing bothersome symptoms.
How Does Hormone Therapy Work?
So, how does hormone therapy work? Hormone replacement therapy HRT supplements the female hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone, that the female reproductive system stops producing as menstrual periods end.
Systemic HRT circulates through the bloodstream to treat widespread menopause symptoms, while low-dose vaginal estrogen is absorbed locally to treat vaginal symptoms with less estrogen reaching the rest of the body. Women who have had their uterus removed may use systemic estrogen alone products, while those with an intact uterus often need both estrogen and a progestin component (which releases progestin to protect the uterine lining).
Bioidentical hormones closely match the body’s natural hormones in molecular structure, which is one reason many menopausal hormone therapy patients prefer them
Hormonal Balance Support For Women
Hormonal imbalances during menopause can lead to a range of challenging symptoms, including hot flashes, low libido, headaches, weight fluctuations, skin issues, and hair loss. Our tailored menopause treatment aims to alleviate these symptoms by addressing the root cause.
Estrogen Therapy: Systemic and Vaginal Options
There are two main types of estrogen therapy for menopause: systemic therapy and low dose vaginal estrogen. Systemic estrogen is available in pills, skin patches, gels, creams, and sprays, each of which delivers the hormone throughout the body. Skin patches in particular are a popular option for women who prefer steady absorption without daily pills.
Low-dose vaginal estrogen is delivered through a vaginal cream, vaginal ring, or tablet, and it is used to treat vaginal symptoms such as vaginal dryness or painful intercourse with much less estrogen reaching the bloodstream. Vaginal tissue often responds well to local estrogen, restoring comfort during intimacy.
HRT products fall into four main categories: systemic combination therapy, systemic estrogen alone products, systemic progestogen alone, and topical vaginal estrogen.
Revitalizing Libido and Sexual Health For Women
A fulfilling sex life is crucial for overall happiness and satisfaction. Yet, many women experience a decrease in libido, impacting their intimacy and relationship dynamics.
At Azona Health, we offer specialized therapies such as Bioidentical Hormones for Women, oxytocin therapy, and testosterone replacement therapy to reignite your passion and enhance your sexual experiences. Our goal is to help you reclaim your vitality and connection, ensuring a fulfilling and satisfying sex life.
Menopausal Symptoms HRT Can Treat
Menopause hormone therapy can help relieve a wide range of menopausal symptoms that disrupt a woman’s life. To treat menopause symptoms most effectively, providers focus first on the issues causing the greatest disruption: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, mood swings, sleep disturbances, weight gain, breast tenderness, and fluid retention.
Hot flashes and night sweats are the most common reasons women begin menopause hormone therapy, and hormone therapy is FDA-approved as the most effective option for severe hot flashes.
Estrogen therapy also helps protect against bone loss, lowering the risk of bone fractures in postmenopausal women. If menopause symptoms impact your quality of life, you can usually start HRT to treat menopausal symptoms as soon as they appear, after a thorough discussion of your medical history with your provider.
