What is hormone replacement therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is used to help women transition through the menopause and aging. With symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, sleep issues, and decreased libido, HRT helps alleviate symptoms and make the affects of menopause more manageable.

Who needs hormone replacement therapy?

If you’re undergoing menopause, you may be experiencing uncomfortable symptoms, such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and more. It can be a challenging time and often symptoms are alleviated by a customized therapy protocol.

What are the side effects of hormone replacement therapy?

As with many medical treatments, side effects can occur in a small number of patients. The more common side effects for traditional include bloating, nausea, headaches, mood changes, breast tenderness, or vaginal bleeding. With Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy there may also be weight gain and acne.

Is hormone treatment safe?

Whether you’re taking traditional or bio-identical hormone therapy treatments, it’s generally considered that the risks are the same.

What are the cancer risks with hormone replacement therapy?

For women undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) there is an increased risk of breast cancer, particularly when using combination HRT (estrogen-progestin). Estrogen-only HRT treatment has a much lower risk for breast cancer, and only with continued use of 10 years or more, though the risk for endometrial cancer does increase if you still have your uterus. It is considered that synthetic and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy carry the same level of risk. It’s important you are clear on these risks and can balance them against any symptoms you are experiencing. On the flip side, HRT is used to treat cancer as it can ease symptoms and lessen the chance of the cancer returning. Talk to your doctor to discuss what’s appropriate for you.

How long do I need to take additional hormones?

Everyone’s health journey is individual and hormone imbalances, particularly around menopause, typically last for 2-3 years. While it is preferable to get off the therapy as soon as possible, It is considered that low-dose treatments can be safely taken for up to five years.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture points are seen as places where nerves, muscles, and connective tissue can be stimulated. The stimulation increases blood flow, while the same time trigger the activity of the body’s natural pain killer

In some research has find that C-fibers, which a pain receptor are actually branch exactly at the specific acupuncture points, where the bundle of nerves exists to maintain excitement or stimulating. By the insertion of acupuncture needle, it disrupts this circuit and numbs our sensitivity to pain

TCM have believed that the body contains Meridians, these meridians are invisible specific pathways in the body which life force energy call “Qi” flow through. As long as Qi flow smoothly through the meridians and the organs work in harmony the body can remain healthy

According to TCM principle ‘The pain” is visualized as a result of the obstruction and stagnation of Qi and blood in the meridian – using acupuncture needle is aim to dredge the meridian, remove the sluggishness of qi and blood and improve flow of vital force, therefore the pain is subsided

Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy is the method of placing a cup over the skin and applying suction and negative pressure along the meridian channels and strives to dredge the channels pathway and stimulate free flow of Qi.

The theory behind cupping
- Sedate nerve system – known as “provide relief through a pressure”
- Encourage blood flow
- Stimulate lymphatic drainage in the area being treat
- Promotes healing
Cupping is combined with acupuncture in one treatment, but it can also be used alone.

How the cupping work

Initially it pulls blood into an area of cupping. The tissues get saturated with fresh blood while the vacuum pulls stagnant blood out of the area.
As new blood is forced into the tissues around the cups the body will begin to develop new blood vessel formation
As the new vessels form they will have the capability to feed the tissues with nutrient and oxygen, thus it induces healing process
When the vacuum occurs it causes separation of the different layers of tissue which can cause micro trauma and minor inflammation.
Inflammation is the first line of healing. The body releases white blood cells, platelets, fibroblasts and other healing chemicals to promote healing.
