Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)
What are bioidentical hormones? Think of them as hormone twins – they share the exact chemical structure with the ones our bodies make naturally. Derived from plant sources such as soy or yams, they are a popular choice in hormone replacement therapy.
The term “bioidentical” is used to emphasize that these hormones are structurally identical to the hormones produced in the human body.
Common bioidentical hormones include bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone. These hormones are like the chameleons of the hormone world – they can be mixed and matched to create personalized blends tailored just for you. This is different from the usual hormone replacement routine, where it’s more of a one-size-fits-all deal with standard doses.
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) therapy
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) refers to the symptoms that many women face after menopause due to the decline in estrogen levels.
You might feel some vaginal dryness, itchiness, or a bit of a burning sensation. Even during intimacy, there could be some discomfort – we call it dyspareunia. Bathroom trips might become a bit more urgent and frequent, with possible recurrent urinary tract infections.
The treatment of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause typically involves a mix of:
- Lifestyle changes.
- Providing non-hormonal treatments, often they are vaginal moisturizers and water-based lubricants.
- In some cases, hormone therapy, such as vaginal estrogen therapy.
- Pelvic floor physical therapy.
- Counseling and Support .
A doctor specialized in menopause treatment options
It’s crucial for women considering to undergo MHT, or experiencing symptoms of GSM, to have a thorough discussion with a specialized healthcare provider. The appropriate treatment will depend on the severity of symptoms, individual health considerations, and personal preferences.
Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are important to monitor the effectiveness of the chosen treatment and make any necessary adjustments.
