Dr. Rowe and her Team remain diligent to study the science and be aware of the latest research when it comes to this topic. In the most basic definition, Hormone therapy involves replacing the hormones your body no longer produces after menopause, typically estrogen and sometimes progesterone or testosterone, to alleviate symptoms and protect long-term health. We are, however, so much more complex and even neuroendocrine and metabolic hormones matter in menopause. There is no one-sized-fits-all approach. The Magnolia Place team is ready to help you decipher what you need and make certain you create a path forward to feel your best.
The internet is ladened with misinformation and snake oil. It is key to apply the science, your story and your needs to make certain every decision you made, every dollar you spend is matched with a return on investment. Traditional therapy using estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, for most women, when started within 10 years of menopause or under age 60, the benefits of hormone therapy outweigh the risks. However, safety depends on individual health factors, which is why personalized care is crucial. Some hormones prevent certain cancers like colon cancer and others may protect against cardiovascular or bone health. Through a very thorough health assessment, we help you decide what is best and safest for you and only you!
Yes, hormone therapy is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats, often reducing their frequency and intensity by 75% or more.
The relationship between hormone therapy and breast cancer is complex. Estrogen-only therapy has a lower risk than combined estrogen-progesterone therapy. The risk is generally small and depends on the type of therapy and duration of use.
Yes, hormone therapy can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women.
The term “bioidentical” is a marketing term that implies it is safer and more like what your body makes. This term is designed to make us feel like we are making a better choice superior to all. The fact is that all medical therapies start in a lab. There’s no scientific evidence that “bioidentical” or “natural” hormones are safer or more effective than traditional FDA-approved hormone therapy. FDA-approved regulated hormone therapies are carefully designed and tested for safety and efficacy. There is more certainty in FDA-approved drug therapies; however, there is a place for compounded hormone therapy depending on the need and the goal. There are options for compounding certain medical therapies, and we believe best done through a collaborative approach and conversation with our chosen and trusted pharmacists.
The duration of hormone therapy should be individualized. For some women, the benefits may outweigh the risks even with long-term use, while others may need to limit the duration. We believe that strategic surveillance where we see you every 3-6 months once you have an established regimen. This is essential to keeping the best plan at the forefront with your ever-changing health and wellness needs.
