Prolonged estrogen deprivation 'impacts on stroke protection'

August 2011 - If you have had low estrogen levels for a long time, you may have an increased risk of stroke even after you bring your estrogen levels back up, explains a new study from the Georgia Health Sciences University. Scientists have long known that proper estrogen levels can prevent strokes. This study, however, reveals that if your estrogen levels drop too low and remain low for too long, you may lose some of your receptors for the hormone in your brain. Without these receptors, even if your estrogen levels are brought back up, you may not benefit from the full protection that estrogen provides against strokes.

According to the researches, you can prevent this loss of estrogen receptors by replacing loss estrogen soon after your levels drop. This would mean using estrogen replacement before or immediately after menopause. The highly trained doctors in the BodyLogicMD network are all hormone experts, offering personalized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help you keep your hormones balanced.
