With aging, however, many women experience symptoms due to declining estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone production. Perimenopause refers to the time of fluctuating hormone levels before periods stop, and can last anywhere from one to ten or more years before menopause. Menopause technically starts one year after a woman stops having periods. The first step in balancing hormones is to treat the cause when possible. Besides aging, unmanaged stress, poor diet and lifestyle habits, and environmental toxicity can contribute to hormone imbalance symptoms. Not all women choose to replace hormones after menopause. Often times, however, a woman suffers from such significant symptoms that bioidentical hormone replacement (BHRT) may be necessary. After symptoms resolve, some women choose to discontinue one or more hormones they take. Some women do decide to use BHRT long-term, to maintain energy and vitality of youth, as well as promote optimal aging. It is your choice whether or not to replace deficient hormones, and supports you in becoming informed about risks, benefits, and treatment options. Yearly lab tests and office visits will enable you to review your current health, BHRT prescription, and new research that may impact your treatment.
