Is Hormone Replacement Therapy Safe?
There may be concerns regarding the safety of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), particularly when synthetic hormones are used. Synthetic hormones, which do not exactly match those naturally occurring in the body, may interact differently with our cell receptors and potentially trigger adverse reactions. Bioidentical hormones, on the other hand, closely resemble the hormones produced by the body, reducing the risk of adverse effects. As we age, our bodies naturally produce fewer hormones due to factors such as aging and environmental stressors, leading to hormone deficiencies and associated symptoms.
The consequences of hormone deficiency can significantly impact various aspects of life, particularly for women. Imbalances in estrogen hormones can manifest as hot flashes, night sweats, premature aging, and cognitive issues, while low progesterone levels can contribute to anxiety and similar symptoms. Mood swings, decreased libido, and fertility issues may also result from hormonal imbalances.
