How Does Hormone Replacement Therapy Work?

As with menopause itself, there’s a lot of confusing and conflicting information out there about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) – its benefits, its drawbacks, its risks. What’s often missing from the discussion is that there are different kinds and methods of HRT. You can get very different answers and solutions from the different kinds of health practitioners that administer HRT – ob/gyns, GPs, internists, and NDs (naturopathic doctors).

Perhaps most importantly though is the difference between bioidentical hormones and conjugated or synthetic hormones. Bioidentical hormones are those that are identical in molecular structure to the ones a woman’s body makes (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4132968/), while non-bioidentical hormones differ. The lion’s share of information from media and other sources is talking about conjugated/synthetic hormones. That won’t usually specifically identified, although they will sometimes be referred to as “traditional” HRT.

Based on testing and symptoms, women may be treated with replacement estrogen and/or testosterone. Progesterone must also be used to balance out the estrogen. Bioidentical hormones are applied to the skin in form of gels or creams or ingested as tablets according to a physician-specified regimen.

How Can HRT Improve My Health and Quality of Life?

Increasing and balancing hormone levels through HRT can help restore your mental and physical well-being by:

  • Relieving hot flashes and night sweats
  • Reviving sex drive and enhancing sexual functioning
  • Supporting hair and skin health and appearance
  • Improving sleep
  • Clearing “brain fog” and restoring memory and mental acuity
  • Protecting against osteoporosis
  • Stabilizing mood and lifting depression
  • Increasing energy levels
  • Countering weight gain

FAQs

Will my hormone replacement be synced with my menstrual cycle?

The female body’s hormones surge and ebb as a part of a natural rhythm, controlling all endocrine function, predominantly a woman’s health for reproduction. It is the circadian clock in our cells that measures one 24 hour spin of the planet. For 28 days the moon tracks the repeat of that cycle, and so does the body. Typically your doctor will prescribe a treatment that aligns with the female body’s natural rhythm of hormone production to establish the proper doses of estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone that mimic the natural hormones which would be produced by your body if you were young. The topical creams and their amounts vary throughout the 28 day cycle to restore the hormone levels of a woman in her prime because young women, for the most part, don’t have heart attacks, breast cancer, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, or type 2 diabetes.

What are Bioidential Hormones?

Bioidenticals are hormones that are identical in molecular structure to the hormones women make naturally in their bodies. They’re not found in this form in nature, but are made from a plant chemical extraction process. Ask your doctor if bioidentical hormone treatment is right for you.

What are the risks of Hormone Replacement in Women?
  • Urinary incontinence – Use of estrogen plus progestin can increase the risk of urinary incontinence.
  • Dementia – Use of estrogen plus progestin can increase the risk of developing dementia among postmenopausal women age 65 and older.
  • Stroke, blood clots, and heart attack – Women who either combine hormone therapy treatments or take estrogen alone have an increased risk of stroke, blood clots, and heart attack.
  • Breast cancer – Women who take estrogen plus progestin may be at a higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer.
  • Irritability – Some women have reported increased aggressiveness or irritability at the start of hormone therapy that includes Testosterone. These issues are generally resolved as levels become balanced. If this is a concern, please advise your HRT Wellness doctor, and have Testosterone removed from your treatment plan.
What role does Testosterone play in women?

Although only a small amount is required for women, testosterone plays a role in a women’s sex drive as well as the ability to build and retain lean muscle mass.

I have had a hysterectomy; am I a candidate for HRT?

Our entire bodies need estrogen and progesterone. The cycle supports our bones, our brains, the myelin coating of our nerves, our hearts and many other systems. Women without a uterus and or ovaries tend to need more hormone replacement because of what is missing. A woman without a uterus follows the cycle of the moon (lunar calendar) for her monthly rhythms. She has her day 12 peak on the full moon. Talk to your doctor to see if Hormone Replacement Therapy is right for you.
