Hormone Replacement Therapy for Hot Flashes in Tarzana, CA

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Hot Flashes in Tarzana, CA

Hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause in women. Although their cause is unknown, it is widely agreed upon that they are linked to the hormonal changes which characterize this period. Hot flashes are typically defined by a sudden feeling of immense warmth throughout the upper body. This leads to an increase in heart rate and subsequent sweating. Hot flashes are commonly concluded with a bout of chilliness as the warmth subsides.

Hot flashes are thought to be at their worst at night and can cause a number of other symptoms, including:

  • Insomnia
  • Memory loss
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

Fortunately, hormone replacement therapy for hot flashes can help to correct the hormonal imbalance driving your hot flash symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy often utilizes estrogen and progesterone , the two primary hormones that can become imbalanced during menopausal years.

Hormone Replacement Therapy for Hot Flashes

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves administering doses of hormones to correct imbalances in the body. The hormone levels of each patient are tested before a unique dosage which best meets their needs is compounded. These hormones are typically delivered into the body via pills, patches, gels, creams or injections. While many have reported symptom relief using HRT, there are a number of frightening side effects.

The hormones used in HRT are synthetically created and are not perfectly identical to those naturally produced by the body. Because of this, only a fraction of the hormones administered are accepted and used, causing the therapy to be less effective. The remaining synthetics linger in the body and can potentially increase the risk of heart attacks and certain types of cancers.

BHRT as a Safer Alternative

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is believed to be a much safer and more effective alternative to traditional HRT. The hormones used in BHRT are chemically identical to the hormones the body naturally produces. This allows more of them to be accepted for use, increasing the effectiveness of the treatment and decreasing the risk of any hazardous side effects.

A popular delivery method for BHRT is via hormone pellet therapy. A pellet made of pure bioidentical hormones is injected into muscle tissue where it slowly dissolves over the course of weeks to months. This means that less treatments are needed overall, saving you time and money.  

BHRT and BHRT via hormone pellet therapy have provided needed relief to many women suffering from dreaded hot flashes. Request more information about hot flashes hormone therapy today. Call (424) 365-1800 or contact Dr. Jeremy Fischer online.
