Risks Of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Houston

By Mary Stewart


Though it is a life stage that all women must face, menopause has never been an invited guest to most women. By taking charge of their body, these women will try to the level of their capacity to fight this ordeal. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy Houston seems to be the most efficient tool for dealing with it. However, there are groups of people concerned by the risks associated with this therapy.

Back in 2002 there were increased case of breast cancer, strokes, heart attacks and many other such diseases among women in their menopause and undergoing the therapy. This research that was conducted by the Womens Health Initiative concluded that these sessions endured by these women had something to do with their ailments.

There are many prominent people including celebrities who endorse these therapies. More so, these sessions have perfect results to their new users. These two factors make it challenging for one to stand out and be given a listening ear when they are trying to sensitize the people about the effects that can be associated with these therapies.

It seems the nature of these bioidentical hormones is what is catchy to many. One is that these bioidentical ones use human hormones, unlike the traditional ones who used hormones of animals in most cases. There is also room for custom made hormones for a particular individual when it comes to the bioidentical one.

Most of the users do not feel the fear of using them at all. They tend to be very compatible with those of the users. The doctors who are in the support of this therapy argue that these hormones are similar to those which were produced by the woman during their productive age.

These hormones have two main modes of production. There is the pre-prepared method where the hormones are manufactured and distributed by the known major pharmaceutical firms. There is also the compound pharmacy method of production. This method is for the customized hormone. Pills, creams, gels and vaginal rings are the different forms in which the hormones can be administered.

The US Food and Drug Administration (approves the substances that are used to manufacture these hormones. However, one must think twice as to why FDA does not approve the final product which is the exact thing that people are convinced to use.

In addition to this, the compounds prepared and distributed as FDA usually regulates prescription pharmaceuticals. Their production and quality are monitored to prevent any harm to the users. However, the compound pharmaceuticals which is the commonest method preferred by many cannot be regulated by FDA. The dosage varies from person to person.

FDA and most of other organisations are against the use of saliva test as a means of determining the hormone levels of an individual. Biologically, hormones of a person are never constant. They are deemed to change with time hence such a method is effective.

Despite being the widely accepted means of dealing with menopause, people should be keen when going for these therapies. The effects are dangerous and irreversible. It is important to seek medical assistance on what best works for you.
