Estrogen Therapy Can Help Women Overcome Menopausal Issues and Body Changes

Recent study shows the contribution of estrogen therapy on women's health. Estrogen is said to help women to manage their menopause-related issues.

Science Daily gives a clear description on how based on study estrogen therapy can help women on their menopause-related issues. Menopausal issues and body changes are a big challenge for women who experience things like reduction of sexual satisfaction, hot flashes, lowering heart health and more.

Apparently, an article was published by The North American Menopause Society or NAMS featuring estrogen therapy. Accordingly, the "Menopause" journal described how estrogen levels fall during menopause. When this happens, women got exposed to different health issues like osteoporosis, teeth and gum disease among others.

According to Everyday Health, Hormone Replacement Therapy will help the body get natural hormone levels in the form of estrogen-alone therapy or ET or progesterone therapy or PT. Eventually, there are two types of conditions for women; the hysterectomy or surgical menopause and natural menopause.

The role of hormones in the body is uncountable. At the age of 51, most women experience severe menopausal symptoms that often lasts for two to three years. If women would take low-dose treatment of the estrogen therapy, they will get the benefits thru limiting the increased risks of heart disease and breast cancer for up to five years.

Meanwhile, estrogen therapy won't need to be surgical because there are available pill, get, vaginal cream, ring or patch both for the ET and EPT. Some doctors claim that low-dose transdermal patch is the best method to use for it can bring the hormone directly into the bloodstream.

Even though estrogen therapy will not cure all of the menopausal issues and changes, it's still a big help for every woman. Dr. Rogerio Lobo, MD/OB/GYN said, "Just remember to go with the lowest possible effective dose, for the shortest possible period of time."
