Bio-identical hormone pellet therapy for WOMEN
We all want to age gracefully, to feel healthy, vibrant and sexy all the days of our lives. And then the symptoms of menopause begin to creep in with an onslaught of hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, grumpy irritability and other unwelcome symptoms. At this point, most of us would gladly settle for just feeling a little better. So, we look for hormone therapy replacement to do that.
We were once told that traditional (synthetic) hormone replacement therapy could do the trick. After the shocking results of the Women’s Health Initiative study on natural hormone therapy, millions of women abruptly stopped using their prescribed synthetic hormones. Many were disillusioned with the medical establishment and decided to live with the downsides of hormone imbalance. Others looked to hormone replacement therapy alternatives for relief.
Hormone replacement therapy with SottoPelle® Therapy has changed the manner women age. In the past, women died more frequently in childbirth; PMS was an imaginary problem; and menopause, with all of its age related infirmities, was just another stage of life to be endured and lived with. Today, we know that we don’t have to accept hormonal imbalance as a grim reality. Natural hormone replacement therapy has helped improve not only the quality of our lives, but also how long we live them. Some doctors continue to say that women should stop whining and embrace their menopausal woes, but why should we when the remedy is as simple as replacing missing hormones? |

Estrogen
Estrogen is a woman’s most important hormone. Without hormone replacement therapy, the loss of estrogen puts her at increased risk for premature ovary failure, osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, tooth loss, impaired vision, Parkinson’s disease and diabetes. The longer a woman is without the protection of her own estrogen, the greater the risk for serious health consequences of these conditions.
There are estrogen receptors in a variety of organs throughout the body and brain. That’s why hormonal imbalance produces different symptoms such as loss of skin elasticity, bone shrinkage, mood and cognitive decline. On the other hand, when estrogen levels rise as they do in the first week of menses, their overall effect is to increase the amount of serotonin available in the spaces between the brain’s nerve cells, which improves mood. Within the brain, estrogen may in fact act as a natural antidepressant and mood stabilizer. It is therefore essential that a woman suffering from premature ovary failure or surgical menopause receive treatment from a HRT physician who both understands the many ramifications of the disease and is willing and able to meet her endocrine and emotional needs.
