Menopause can be a difficult time for most women.  The symptoms that accompany menopause can make life very difficult, even sometimes unbearable.  This often leads women to seek any medication necessary to alleviate the symptoms, even if it may be unhealthy.  The problem is that most women are commonly recommended drugs for menopause that are synthetic drugs, usually synthetic hormones, which can pose a variety of dangerous side effects.  The body often rejects these hormones, which can lead to more serious health problems.

Menopause occurs in women commonly between the ages of 48-55.  Some of the symptoms may include hot flashes, night sweats, poor moods, and sexual discomfort.  These symptoms may seem a minor annoyance at first, but they often cause more serious problems in your body.  Extreme hot flashes can often be accompanied by severe headaches, nausea and sometimes even irregular heartbeats.  Of course, these symptoms may be coupled with any other health problem you may be having.

Sometimes, this may all seem too much for a person to handle, but what is the solution?   Well you could take no action at all, and just suffer from these symptoms of low hormone levels.  Your symptoms may increase, or may just subside over time, or you can choose hormone replacement therapy.  The problem with hormone replacement therapy is that it can be effective, but is not always safe.  Take synthetic hormones for example.  Many doctors specifically prescribe synthetic hormones, even though they ares not completely safe for the body.  The body is not accustomed to recognizing these unnatural hormones, and often rejects them altogether.  This can lead to negative side effects such as increased hot flashes, water retention, even possibly cancer.

The safest way to treat the symptoms of menopause effectively is biodentical hormone replacement therapy.  Biodentical hormones are in no way different molecularly, from the hormones our bodies produce naturally.  Because of this molecular integration, the body does not reject them as being foreign entities, and therefore this is the only safe method of conducting hormone replacement therapy.  Why would you want something in your body that was once in a horse’s body, or made out of horse urine, like one of the most commonly prescribed synthetic hormones, Premarin, which is made from the urine of female horses? Is this something you want in your body?  I would be guessing, probably not.
