Risks Of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Houston

By Mary Stewart


Most women are never ready for their menopause era. In fact, they will all do all that is in their capacity to run away from it which is a good sign. The most common means of getting away from this unwanted life stage is through using the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy Houston. Though this seems to be popular to many, effects associated are worrying.

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.

Trying to educate the public has been appearing as a challenging task to many people and even health organisations. The results that the users of these hormones have got seem too good to accept the existence of any side effects. More so, any public figures talk good about them without even mentioning the possible side effects.

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 controversy begins with the making up of these substances. The compounds that are used in the manufacture of these hormones are approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Surprisingly enough is that FDA does not approve the final product that is what the people consume.

Many users are not aware that FDA only approves and regulates the production of the prescription pharmaceuticals only and not the compound ones. It is easy to regulate the production of the prescription pharmaceuticals since they are produced in common quantities unlike the compound one which is customized for every client.

More so, there is much organisation including FDA, which is against the use of ones saliva as a test specimen of their hormonal levels. This method is ineffective and unreliable since the hormones of an individual change with time.

Though it seems as the ready and most efficient means of handling menopause issues, people should not be going for them with their eyes blindfolded. It is important for one to seek the advice of a doctor instead of rushing for these therapies since there are some people such as cancer or heart disease patients who are not supposed to go for it.
