Female Hormones
Typically as a woman enters her 40's - for some even earlier - she may encounter hormone related symptoms such as:
Hot Flashes, Night Sweats, Vaginal Dryness, Foggy Thinking, Memory Lapse, Irregular Menstruation, Sadness, Depressed, Sleep Disturbances, Morning and Evening Fatigue, Stress, Sugar Craving, Weight Gain-Waist & Hips, Decreased Libido, Loss of Scalp Hair, Increase in Facial or Body Hair, Mood Swings, Breast Tenderness, Nervousness, Irritable, Anxious, Water Retention and Fibrocystic Breasts."
These symptoms
are often a result of hormone levels decreasing in your body. In the
past woman were offered a chemical solution for their symptoms but
recent studies have shown an increased risk of heart attacks,
strokes, breast cancer and blood clots withthe use of the synthetic
hormone Prempro (a combination of Premarin and Provera).
Women are frustrated but they are no longer willing to accept the
risks associated with chemical hormones and are searching for safer
alternatives.
An estimated two million women are now benefiting from natural and
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy.
Dr. Stula encourages you to become an active participant in your own
health care and educate yourself on the safe alternatives for
hormone and menopausal symptoms. By doing so you will learn the
risks of the synthetic hormones and benefits of Bio-Identical
Hormone Therapy.
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy reduces your risk for:
- Osteoporosis
- Cancer of the colon
- Genital urinary symptoms
- Alzheimer's Disease
- Heart Disease*
- Hormonal aging
*The risk of cardiovascular disease is decreased in those patients who have never had cardiovascular disease (heart attack or stroke).
How do women get started on Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy?
Following a physical examination and screening, the patient at home
completes a saliva test or will take a lab order to the laboratory
of their choice to have blood drawn. The Saliva sample is sent to a
state-of-the-art laboratory and the results arrive back to Dr. Stula
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. 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 certified
compounding pharmacies. Dr. Stula will also coach you on the
benefits of regular exercise and a healthy diet, as this combined
with natural hormone therapy will help you on the road to a
healthier lifestyle.
