Doctor Steven R. Goldstein MD is a top Gynecologist in New York City and the
co-author of the book “The Estrogen Alternative”. With over 25 years of experience as a top Gynecologist, Doctor Goldstein has successfully used female hormone replacement therapy to treat menopausal women or women suffering from perimenopause or other conditions arising from a lack of female hormones. When women’s bodies stop producing Estrogen and Progesterone naturally (due to age, menopause or other factors) there are symptoms that arise such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, foggy memory, mood swings, night sweats, vaginal dryness, free floating anxiety and more. Of these, vaginal dryness and hot flashes are the two main symptoms of a lack of Estrogen.

However, the lack of Estrogen also affects the brain as there are many sites in the brain where estrogen receptors are found. This may explain foggy memory, and other symptoms just prior to menopause. Skin, blood vessels and breasts also depend on Estrogen to stay toned and flexible. So you see the lack of estrogen doesn’t only produce hot flashes and vaginal dryness, but it has an overall effect on a woman’s health including the cardiovascular system, bone, cognitive abilities and more. Consider that many menopausal women suffer bone loss due to a lack of estrogen, in fact there are approximately one million osteoporotic fractures among women in the US each year. So the effects of a lack of estrogen on womans’ body are many.

Female Hormone Replacement therapy (HRT) uses prescription drugs in the form of pills, patches or creams to replace this estrogen synthetically and improve the overall health of menopausal women by helping to prevent heart disease, high cholesterol, and improving the condition of the bones.
