Hormone therapy is one of the most effective options available for women experiencing menopause symptoms. If you’re beginning to get closer to menopause and experiencing symptoms like hot flashes or brain fog, getting effective treatment can make all the difference in your day-to-day life. Meeting with a women’s health or intimate health provider is a great first step in getting treatment for menopause symptoms. Here’s what to know about one of our most recommended treatments here at Tideline Center for Health & Aesthetics, systemic hormone therapy.

What is Systemic Hormone Therapy?

Systemic hormone therapy is a form of hormone replacement therapy. Some types of estrogen replacement therapy focus on treating vaginal or pelvic symptoms of menopause or low hormone levels. Systemic hormone therapy instead focuses on treating common menopause symptoms that affect the whole body. It typically provides a higher dose in the form of a pellet that is absorbed by the body. These pellets can last for up to 4 months at a time, making them an attractive option for patients who want a low-hassle option.

What Are the Benefits of Systemic Hormone Therapy?

One of the biggest benefits of systemic hormone therapy is that it can reduce the risk of injury from osteoporosis. Estrogen plays a role in the strength, density, and overall health of your bones – meaning that when estrogen declines with menopause, it can put you at risk. By replacing estrogen, you can reduce the risk of fractures and other long-term injuries to your musculoskeletal system.

Systemic hormone therapy is also the ideal treatment option for menopause symptoms. It can alleviate uncomfortable experiences such as hot flashes, night sweats, and trouble sleeping, as well as improve sexual functioning and overall mood. Historically, not much importance has been placed on treating menopause symptoms and they were simply seen as a fact of life for aging women. Now, however, the benefits of improving the daily quality of life for menopausal women are well-documented – when you enjoy a more energetic and vibrant lifestyle, you can expect a much healthier and happier outlook.

What are the Risks of Systemic Hormone Therapy?

Many women stray away from hormone therapy because of the supposed risks. However, it’s important to know that the risks are exceedingly low when you seek out a knowledgeable provider. Factors like your age, type of hormone therapy, and health history can all have an impact on whether you should move forward with hormone therapy, and our providers will take the time to determine whether it’s appropriate for you. For example, if you have a history of heart disease, stroke, blood clots, or breast cancer, it may be recommended that you explore other options. Our providers can help you create a treatment plan that addresses your symptoms using the safest and best possible options.
