Menopause is a normal phase of female development. In the past it marked a difficult choice for women.
Hormone levels play key roles in many aspects of
human health. As women age, their naturally occurring levels of progesterone,
estrogens, and androgens begin to drop steeply as they approach, then progress,
through menopause. After menopause, a women's total estrogen production decreases
by 70% to 80% while androgen production decreases by as much as 50%.
Today more and more women are looking for a safe and effective way to balance and replenish their hormones. The stories of the horrible side effects of the synthetic hormones make them question if they should even try them or not do anything at all and suffer through it. Women today do not have to put up with the side effects of weight gain, bloating, irritability, depression and the risk of cancer.
The Remedy
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is safe,
sensible and effective. Bio-identical plant derived hormone products are
being used today to replenish hormones without the side effects of the synthetic
hormone replacement drugs commonly prescribed today. These plant extractions
exactly replicate the hormones in our female bodies. The plant-derived hormones
are being prescribed today and are available at Pleasant Hills Apothecary.
We can work closely with the physician to formulate custom-design natural
hormones to meet each individual woman's unique needs. Blood and saliva
tests are optional but may be helpful in dosing patients. Together with
the physician a dosing protocol can be developed to meet patient needs including
PMS, Premature Menopause, Peri-Menopause, Surgical Menopause, Menopause,
and Post-Menopause. |
