Is Hormone Replacement for me?

Hormone levels begin to change in the years before menopause. Many women begin to get symptoms such as hot flushes, irregular periods, vaginal dryness and insomnia. These symptoms are primarily due to declining hormone levels.

At menopause, monthly periods stop completely and the ovaries stop producing and releasing eggs. They therefore, no longer produce estradiol and progesterone but continue to make DHEA and testosterone.

After menopause, there is very little progesterone and much less estrogen and testosterone than before menopause. This large decrease in hormone levels leads to the symptoms experienced during and after menopause.

Doctors can help you manage these symptoms by replacing the lost hormones that the body stops producing.
