Hormone Therapy Helps To Restore The Internal Walls, Form And Secretion Of The Vagina.

May 27, 2009 - PRLog -- With regard to the likelihood of breast cancer, accurate data in this field. Some studies have shown that the risk is slightly increased, while others - which is slightly decreasing, while the third did not reveal any pattern here. It is clear only that the fifteen-course hormone therapy in healthy women on average do not increase the likelihood of breast cancer. Current hormone therapy combining estrogen with progesterone, is not so long ago, to determine its impact on the likelihood of breast cancer, but all evidence suggests that this effect is very small.

Estrogen is not a carcinogen and does not cause cancer, although it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells if they are already present in the body. The good news ( http://prohormone.ru/?p=740 )is that, according to a large-scale study, where women receiving hormone replacement therapy, breast cancer begins, the prospects for an early stage is much better than that of a woman who does not take hormones. Perhaps this is because estrogen causes cancer cells to multiply faster, but they are less virulent and may be more likely to detect and remove in the treatable stage.

In addition, hormone replacement therapy protects against osteoporosis, which may lead to loss of capacity and become a threat to life, and from coronary heart disease, often leading to disability or fatal.

Summing up, it can be said that women undergoing hormone treatment survived significantly longer than those who refused it.

“Do you recommend hormonal therapy, the majority of modern women?”

Yes, if there are no specific contraindications to its use. Doctors are unanimous in opinion that the positive effects of hormone therapy significantly outweigh the risks. With very few exceptions, almost all women can, without any health risk pass at least a short course of hormone replacement therapy, which lasts from several months to five years. Absolute majority of women should seriously think about it.

“For how long can I take a course of hormonal replacement therapy?”

Time is limited, if you regularly shown gynecologist (that should make every woman, regardless of whether it runs a course of hormonal therapy or not). Many women need to take estrogen for a period of ten years or more, and perhaps even the rest of their lives, especially if they are at risk on the propensity to osteoporosis or heart disease. Another is needed to retain a full sex life and avoid problems with the urination. You will not threaten any danger, and you will get benefits of restoring hormones to the end of life, if you remember the following principles: a low dose, receiving progesterone, if you survived the uterus, a medical examination every six months and mammograms every year.

“How many women in the United States currently take estrogen?”

Slightly less than 15% of U.S. menopausal age of women who are restoring the level of estrogen may be beneficial to accept it now. Approximately 20% ceased their reception at the end of nine months, but still about 20 or 30% never had it, although it was recommended by his doctors. Some of them are afraid of cancer, others do not want to restore the menstrual cycle (which can be avoided), or suffer inconvenience because of side effects (which can also be eliminated). However, in our own practice we have found that women rarely abandon hormone replacement therapy, if they carefully explain all its advantages, and their dosage and the treatment cycle will be calculated so as to exclude “annoying” side effects.

“I do not like drugs and I want to take hormones only during the period when they really needed me. What time should I be taking them?”

If you are interested only in alleviating the symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes and insomnia, you will be enough for two to five years. And if, instead of estrogen, you will no longer suffer from these symptoms, then you do not need more to take it.

However, if you’re more interested in that, to avoid voids bones, you should receive a course of hormonal therapy for at least ten years after the start of menopause, as it is the time rate of bone loss are particularly high.
