Hormone Therapy
I’ve been having trouble with early menopause and it is affecting my relationship with my husband. The hot flashes are not that bad, but I’m having trouble sleeping and having sex because of how uncomfortable it is now. I am only 46 and feel that there has to be some help somewhere. I want to be in better moods for myself, my children and my suffering husband. I am interested in finding out more about hormone replacement. What is the safest way to go about it. Is bio-identical hormones a lot safer? Is that the best resource to help sleep (I used to always sleep great). I tried over-the-counter sleeping pills, but do not want to have to keep taking them. My doctor is not really versed on hormone replacement. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Marie,
Thank you for your question. Your symptoms are very common for women your age. It can definitely be a hormonal issue. Bio-identical Hormones are the way to go.
I have helped so many patients with mood, libido, sleep and energy with hormone replacement. It takes analysis of all the hormones and a comprehensive approach is needed. Additionally, the hormones promote benefit for your heart, bones, brain, skin, and colon!
Hope this helps!
