Hormone Replacement Therapy - Heals Women Off Those Pre-Menopause Symptoms!

Problems caused during Pre-Menopause

The first of the core problems which women usually face is that their menstrual periods would be affected. The periods either last longer than a week or very less in a week, ultimately making it more frequent or less frequent, as well as extensively heavy and longer periods. The change in the menstrual cycle is because of the imbalances in hormones like Estrogen and Progesterone which ultimately causes other agonizing effects like hot flashes, disturbed sleep, vaginal dryness, and a mild reduction in bone density, very bad mood swings which causes irritation and anxiety in most women. Worst is a women going through pre-menopause period does not get any support at all from her loved ones. Most often they are in the ignorant state not knowing why the women behave so irritated and erroneously. Yes, some women have concentration problems as well.

What is Hormone Replacement therapy?

Hormone Replacement Theory (HRT) or Hormone Therapy (HT) is targeted at the women who face a lot of uneasiness caused by the dwindling of the hormones estrogen and progesterone in menopausal, premenopausal and to a small extent of postmenopausal women. It involves the use of one or two medications that consist of the hormones estrogens, progesterone or progestins, and sometimes testosterone that are used to artificially enhance the hormone levels which causes the pre-menopausal symptoms. The hormone boosting may be provided to the body through tablets, creams, gels, via injection, etc. The dosage is of two types: sequentially combined HRT (scHRT) and continuous combined HRT (ccHRT). In scHRT, the dosage is with estrogens taken daily and progesterone consumed for two weeks almost every/alternate month depending on the woman's requirement. A much more recent alternate method (ccHRT) is a dosage which requires both the hormones to be consumed daily. The choice of the dosage is with respect to the condition of the woman during pre-menopause and the choice between the two methods should be done with the help of doctors only.

The varied troubles that women during pre-menopause could be overcome easily with the help of the Hormone Replacement Theory (HRT) which helps certain women handle those days much better.
