Some Benefits Of Bio-Identical Hormones Therapy
Dr. Peter Dobie
In some women, the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop notably due to menopause. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is given to these women as a treatment. You may have heard the names of hormones estrogen and progesterone in your science class. The levels of essential hormones are increased by introducing Bio-Identical hormones in the body. When the menopause approaches, the levels of estrogen and progesterone drop. To reduce certain menopausal symptoms, some females may get benefits by boosting their hormone levels artificially. The release of eggs is stimulated by the estrogen hormone. When supply of woman's eggs ends, levels of estrogen start to decrease.

In some cases, the symptoms may even occur before the menopause starts (perimenopause). In such situations, supply of eggs in a female hasn’t completed instead they have just decreased notably, which can start a drop in hormone levels. This is the reason why, the woman will have regular periods and menopausal symptoms as well. HRT estrogen is extracted from plants or horse urine. However, menopause treatment by using bio-identical hormones has more benefits over conventional hormone replacement therapy.
