How do I get started with my own individualized Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy? |
|
Following a physical examination and screening, a saliva test is completed by the patient at home or a blood test can be performed at the clinic. The sample is sent to the laboratory and the results arrive back to the office within 10-14 business days. Blood test results usually arrive within 3-4 business days. Once your test results are received, you will be called to schedule an appointment to go over the results with Dr. Stula. Candidates for hormone therapy will receive a personalized prescription for that individual's specific hormone levels. These natural hormones are made to the doctor's exact specifications by compound pharmacies. Pharmaceutical companies are beginning to make Bio-Identical, natural hormones which can be purchased, by prescription, at local pharmacies. Check with Dr. Stula if the latter is an option for you. Estrogen, progesterone and testosterone hormones are produced from wild yams and soybeans. Unlike synthetic hormones such as Provera-Progestin, natural hormones are the same as the hormones your body loses over time.
Regular exercise and a healthy diet combined with natural hormone therapy will help you on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

Hormone Therapy - Details |
|
As a result of hormone levels decreasing in your body, you become more susceptible to menopausal symptoms and diseases. Recent studies have shown an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer and blood clots with the use of the synthetic hormone Prempro (a combination of Premarin and Provera).
Women are no longer willing to accept the risks associated with synthetic hormones and are searching for safer alternatives. New research is continually emerging. An estimated two million women are now benefiting from Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy. Experts in the field of hormone therapy recommend physicians and women currently using Prempro to switch to a safer alternative - Bio-Identical Hormone replacement.
As you become more educated about the treatments for menopausal disorders, you will learn the risks of the synthetic hormone and benefits of Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy.
