Vagifem is an FDA-approved, prescription-only estrogen replacement therapy indicated for the relief of menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse. This estrogen therapy is part of a larger class of hormone replacements known as bioidentical hormones. Here’s what you need to know about bioidentical hormones, how they help women regain balance during menopause, and how they compare to other forms of hormone replacement therapy.
Bioidentical hormones are plant-based hormones derived from yams or soy that are designed to have identical molecular structure and activity as the natural hormones your body produces. These hormones can be adjusted and customized by your doctor to fit your individual needs. In contrast, traditional synthetic hormone therapies have a “one size fits all” approach which may not take into account your unique body composition and metabolism.
As women age, their bodies naturally produce less of the female sex hormone estrogen. This decrease in estrogen production can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, fatigue, vaginal dryness and irritability. By replacing lost estrogen with bioidential hormones in the form of Vagifem treatments, many of these troublesome symptoms can be greatly reduced or eliminated enabling better quality sleep and overall health.
Bioidentical hormones can also reduce the risk of common diseases associated with aging such as heart disease and osteoporosis while restoring bone density, reducing cholesterol levels and improving overall blood health. Additionally, when prescribed at safe levels bioidenticals are proven to be side-effect free!
If you’re having difficulty managing menopausal symptoms or restoring balance in your life then it may be beneficial to combine different treatment modalities including diet modifications, lifestyle changes, stress management techniques such as yoga/meditation/massage therapy along with Vagifem bioindetical estrogen treatments for best results!
