What is HRT and is it for me?
Knowledge is power in menoPAUSE. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is being used more and more these days by menoPAUSE women because of the fantastic results. Did you know 83% of menopausal women report a dip in sex drive? But, wait... there's HOPE! 77% of those women who tried HRT said it helped them reclaim control and 64% felt better within 2 months. It can treat most of the classic menoPAUSE symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, bone health, cardiovascular disease, uncomfortable sex and brain cognition.
The 3 forms;
- Oral estrogen (pill) for hot flashes, night sweats, bone loss.
- Transderma estrogen (patches, gels, sprays) lowers clot risks and for GI issues.
- Vaginal estrogen for dryness and discomfort.
So we know that it works why isn't every women over 40 on it? Rather, why aren't any hormonal cougars (another term for perimenopause) I know on HRT? Well I did a little digging and it turns out the biggest hurdle women have with HRT seems to be physicians do not have enough TIME TO TALK to their patients. There's also the fact that most physicians,, unless they specialize in menopause health do not know about all the new data that's out.
Now what? If you're anything like me your've already googled best Menopause specialist in your area. For a more vetted search visit the HRT Club website (www.theHRTclub.com) There you can search for a provider in the United States by zip code. All I did was enter in my zip code, expanded the radius to 10 miles (I do live in Portland, OR where there are lot's of hospitals and private practices.) Three providers came up and I 'll be calling tomorrow to see if any take my insurance. I have a lot of these symptoms and at 46 year I'd be shocked it I'm not in full blown menoPAUSE by now. I'll let you know how my HRT journey unfolds.
In the meantime please send me your HRT stories! I'm dieing to hear from all of you.
Did HRT save your midlife sex life or atleast help you retrieve common words like 'cabinet' when in conversation with a new friend at work.
I swear my hormonal cougar brain fog is the culprit!
