How To Treat Menopausal Symptoms With Hormone Pellet Therapy

Women have different symptoms during menopause. These symptoms vary from person to person. We are most familiar with the physical symptoms of menopause like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, breast soreness, etc. but the mental and emotional symptoms are often overlooked. However, menopause can significantly affect both our mental and emotional wellbeing. In this blog, we will discuss how menopause is related to a woman’s physical and emotional wellbeing, what the key hormones involved, and what women can do to enjoy a healthy and happy menopause.

How menopause is related to a woman’s physical and emotional wellbeing?

There’s a lot of hormonal change that occurs during menopause and this hormonal change can impact a woman’s physical as well as mental health. Some women may feel sleep disruption, irritability, headaches, brain fog, loss of appetite, and, pain during sexual activity, in addition to the physical symptoms mentioned at the beginning of the blog. Mentally, they may feel anxious, depressed, have low sex drive, difficulty in concentration, confusion, and lower motivation among many other emotional disturbances. The low estrogen levels during menopause can lead to these issues.  

What are the main hormones involved in menopause?

The main hormones involved in menopause are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones play a significant role in bringing about physical and mental changes in women. As women enter the phase of perimenopause (a transitional phase before menopause) to menopause, the ovaries produce less estrogen. Estrogen (aka estradiol) also contributes towards brain functioning, mood, bone and heart health and even controls the cholesterol levels in a woman’s body. Similarly, the hormone progesterone prepares a woman’s body for pregnancy. However, during the perimenopause phase, the ovaries become less responsive and as the progesterone levels decrease, it may cause heavy menstrual bleeds. In addition to these changes, low progesterone levels may lead to vaginal dryness.
Now, testosterone (often regarded as a male hormone) also plays an important role in a woman’s body. Testosterone in women is produced in the ovaries and the adrenal gland and contributes towards libido and orgasm in women. Moreover, testosterone is also related to metabolism, muscle and bone strength, mood, acne, facial hair growth, and cognitive functioning.

Hormone Pellet Therapy - A happy and healthy menopause

To have a happy and healthy menopause it is vital to improve a woman’s physical and mental health. You can practice it by eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly, practicing mindfulness, and opting for cognitive behavioural therapy.
Hormone Pellet Therapy is also an effective way to balance these hormones. It is a method of replacing hormones in females with forms of estrogen or testosterone along with a combination of hormones for optimum health and safety. Hormone pellets are implanted under your skin. Once the pellet is inserted in its place, it slowly dissolves into your bloodstream and restores hormone balance. Over time (usually a few weeks to three months), you will feel improved sexual wellness, increased energy and relief from almost all the menopausal symptoms and an overall improved sense of wellbeing.
