Do you suffer from Menopause?
Menopausal symptoms affect about 70% of women approaching mid life. Typical menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes or night sweats, are caused by changing hormonal levels in the female reproductive system. Almost all women notice early symptoms while still having a normal menstrual cycle. This stage of gradually falling and fluctuating hormone levels is called perimenopause, which often begins in the early 40s. Perimenopause is the period of a woman’s life characterized by the physiological changes associated with the end of reproductive capacity, and terminating with the completion of menopause.

The signs and symptoms of menopause, however, often appear long before the one-year anniversary of the final menstrual cycle. Symptoms include:

Treating these symptoms:
You can treat these unwanted signs by boosting estrogen levels enough to suppress symptoms, while providing protection against heart disease and osteoporosis, which causes the bones to weaken. There are two types of hormone treatments: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT). HRT is the administration of estrogen and progesterone; ERT is the administration of estrogen alone.

At Tampa Rejuvenation, we believe that woman (except those with certain cancers) should administer hormones as they approach menopause namely for the protection against heart disease, osteoporosis, and uterine cancer, as well as the relatively low risk of breast cancer. Heart disease and osteoporosis are two of the leading causes of disability and death among post-menopausal women. Since menopause is not a disease, many argue that women should not take hormones to cure what is actually a natural process of aging. We contend that the purpose of taking hormones is not to "treat" menopause, but to prevent the development of other diseases.
