After the age of 25, our bodies go through a multitude of changes as we
continue the aging process. Most of these are not considered desirable.
The most notable of these changes starts when a woman enters pre-menopause
also known as perimenopause. Perimenopause can be recognized most often
by the inability to lose weight and any slight change to the menstrual
cycle. This can be as small as missing one period cycle over a 12-month
period. Along with these external changes is the decline in a women’s
hormone levels. Because of the hormone decline, negative impacts on physical,
emotional, and mental well-being can occur. Each person is affected differently
by these decline in hormones. Skin, hair, and nails may no longer look
full and youthful. Mood and personality may no longer be as mellow, calm,
or easy-going as it was before. Weight loss, energy, and exercise may
be seemingly tougher to maintain.
What is Menopause?
Menopause is a milestone in a woman’s life when her ovaries stop producing
hormones entirely. This comes after perimenopause. It is not something
that happens all at once. This happens gradually through perimenopause.
It is typically recognized by the onset of hot flashes. Hot flashes occur
because the body is indicating that it really needs the estrogen produced
in the ovaries and isn’t getting enough to function property. The
best source of estrogen is produced in the ovaries. A back-up production
facility is excess fat tissue. The estrogen produced in the fat tissue
is not the same as in the overtries and is extremely inferior because
it is not able to signal body functions in the same manner as ovarian
estrogen. The estrogen produced in fat tissue is linked to cancer and
the inability to lose excess fat. Using a bio-identical estriol and estriol
blend is the best choice once ovarian estrogen is no longer produced.
This is because it is more like the estrogen produced by the ovaries,
and it works synergistically sending out signals to the body producing
calming, healing, and joyful effects.
The major Menopause “breakthrough” is when females enter
Postmenopause, which is commonly used to describe the years that follow the hot flashes.
While a woman may rejoice that she no longer has periods and hot flashes,
the unfortunate tradeoff is that she typically doesn’t sleep well
through the night either. The onset of Menopause
technically begins at the end of the female reproductive cycle, declining or unstable
hormone levels can cause menopause symptoms as early as 10 years prior during
Perimenopause, also referred to as
“Early Menopause” and/or
“Menopause Transition.” Most Menopause symptoms and Perimenopause symptoms are caused when ovarian
production of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone decrease and create
a hormone imbalance and/or hormone deficiency within the body.
Surgical Menopause occurs when women undergo the surgical removal of the ovaries via a
hysterectomy, also known as a “
Total Hysterectomy” or partial hysterectomy”. Following the surgical procedure,
estrogen levels plummet drastically and can lead to very severe and devastating
symptoms including mood decline and weight gain.

Why Choose Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
If you or a loved one is experiencing the signs and symptoms of perimenopause
or menopause,
Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is the superior solution. Hormone balance is vital for both genders, and
at all stages of life, but it’s especially important for postmenopausal
women. BHRT is an effective treatment option that’s proven to successfully
balance women’s hormones post-menopause. Unlike conventional forms
of hormone therapy, bioidentical hormones are natural plant-based compounds
that imitate the same molecular structure as your body’s naturally-produced
hormones, providing patients with less side effects and faster results.
The hormone therapy doctors at Envizion Medical have years of experience
providing the best Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy options for
Postmenopausal Women. We take pride in offering our patients a variety
of natural hormone replacement therapies such as
Testosterone,
Progesterone and
Estrogen hormones, including ,
Estradiol ( E2),
Estriol (E3). With our approach we like to see Estrone (E1) levels decline once
(E2) and (E3) are introduced, because this is the hormone produced in
the fat tissue of menopausal women. In healthy younger women Estrone level
are typically low, and when getting hormones rebalanced this will start
to begin naturally.
