Bioidentical Hormones for Menopausal Symptoms | June, 2010

A recent article published by the Los Angeles Times discussed the risks and benefits associated with the use of bioidentical hormones to treat symptoms of menopause. The symptoms that women experience during menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, low libido and vaginal dryness, are oftentimes the result of waning levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. In past few decades, millions of women have turned to some form of hormone therapy to find relief from symptoms of the dreaded menopause. Early on, treatments consisted largely of synthetic-based hormone therapy drugs, such as Premarin and Provera, until it was discovered that the risks clearly outweigh the potential benefits.

Thanks to state-of-the-art compounding pharmacies, women can now use a safer and more practical alternative to help make symptoms of menopause a thing of the past. Bioidentical hormones are molecularly identical to the hormones that the body produces on its own and are derived from natural sources, such as Mexican yams and soy. According to the article, bioidentical hormones are custom-made for each individual patient - making them far more effective than the one-size-fits-all methods that most women are familiar with. The article also states that women using bioidentical hormones feel great and don't experience any of the side-effects that typically occur when using synthetic treatments.

The highly trained bioidentical hormone doctors at BodyLogicMD offer women natural solutions to living better, longer. Using customized fitness and nutritional regimens, in combination with bioidentical hormone therapy, BodyLogicMD affiliated physicians have helped tens of thousands of women overcome symptoms of menopause and significantly improve the quality of their overall health.
