An Overview Of Bioidentical Estrogen

A time comes in every woman's life when she must prepare herself for menopause

. Some have been totally caught off guard and their life turned upside down by it. But today there are many things that can help women get through it and deal with all the symptoms that come with it through hormonal therapy. Natural hormonal therapy is on the rise and the medical community has been taking a close look at bioidentical estrogen lately.

Briefly, these bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to the hormones that the body produces naturally in a woman's ovaries. These bioidentical hormones can be produced by a drug company with FDA approval. Or they can be manufactured through special pharmacies which go by patient and on a case-by-case basis, and these are not approved by the FDA.

The reason many refer to bioidentical hormones as natural is because unlike traditional HRT treatments that are made from synthetic chemicals, they are derived from plants. These bioidentical hormones are created from plants are equal to the chemical structure and function of those naturally produced in the body. And, some feel that is why they would work better than synthetic drugs.

When this hormonal replacement therapy is chosen, it replaces the hormones that are naturally produced in the body with the bioidentical ones. Synthetic hormones are only available at this time in oral form, but the bioidentical ones come in many forms. They can be taken in the form of cream, lotion, patch, pill, and vaginal rings. They can be prescribed for daily use or whenever a physician feels they're needed depending on what is used.

These can help relieve the symptoms of menopause that women go through such as night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal irritation and dryness. They can also help in preventing the onset of osteoporosis that is the loss of bone mass, making bones fragile and easy to break. This can help make things a lot more bearable for women during menopause. It can also help to improve functions in females with hormonal imbalances.

Although there is further testing that needs to be done with bioidentical hormones, studies have already proven how it can relieve the symptoms of menopause. It is believed that these are more easily metabolized with very few side effects in the body because they carry the same molecular structure as naturally produced hormones. A physician trained with the knowledge of bioidentical hormone therapy is who one should see to learn about all the risks and benefits associated with this form of therapy.

Every woman is different and what works for one may not work for another. Although bioidentical estrogen therapy has been highly successful, it isn't for every woman. Some time may be needed to find the right treatment and combination of treatments to help during menopause. A trained physician can help you decide if hormonal therapy is right for you.
