15 Jan Benefits of Estrogen Replacement

Women typically begin to experience estrogen deficiency immediately after a hysterectomy or removal of ovaries and when they start to enter menopause. Symptoms of estrogen deficiency include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and decreased mood. The benefits of bio-identical estrogen replacement therapy include relief of hot flashes and night sweats, relief of vaginal dryness and thinning, and reduced risks of osteoporosis, coronary artery disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and arthritis. They can increase your life expectancy by an average of 3 years.

Just to let you know, we only prescribe bio-identical estrogens. The use of synthetic, oral, non-bio-identical hormone medications like Premarin can be harmful to your health and may have adverse side effects. In the overwhelming majority of cases, we prescribe Bio-Identical Progesterone along with Estrogen. This will counteract potential Estrogen dominance and reduce the risk of any possible side effects or long-term health risks.
