Oestrogel is an estrogen-based medication that is used to supplement the natural hormone levels in women. It is a bioidentical hormone, which means it provides the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by the body's own endocrine system. Oestrogel is prescribed for a variety of conditions related to a woman's reproductive health including relief from symptoms of menopause, prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis and treatment of primary or secondary amenorrhea.
Bioidentical hormones are made up of molecules that are identical in structure to the hormones that your body naturally produces. This means that they can effectively replace any deficiencies or imbalances in your natural hormone production. Such hormones provide relief from symptoms associated with menopause and other conditions such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness and fatigue.
The primary benefit of bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) is it provides a safe and effective way to restore hormonal balance within a woman’s body. BHRT can improve overall symptoms associated with menopause and other hormone-related disorders by providing more reliable control over levels than those found in traditional treatments such as birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Additionally, since bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources like yams or soybeans, they may also be preferable for people who cannot take synthetic hormones due to allergies or because they wish to avoid potential side effects.
Although bioidentical hormones have many potential benefits, there are still some risks associated with their use which must be considered before starting any course of treatment. The most common risks are those related to long-term use such as breast cancer, stroke and blood clots. Additionally, although BHRT has proven effectiveness in treating some medical conditions such as ovarian cancer, its efficacy in managing others has not been sufficiently tested and corroborated yet by research studies .
Side Effects Of Oestrogel Therapy
When undergoing Oestrogel therapy there may be some mild side effects including headaches, nausea or vomiting; these usually tend to dissipate after a few days of use. In rare cases users may experience more severe symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath which should be reported immediately to the prescribing physician for evaluation. As with any medication containing steroids there may also be an risk for an increase in high blood pressure .
Before beginning an Oestrogel regimen patients should speak with their doctor about any personal medical history they have that might affect their ability to tolerate this form of treatment safely and effectively. Additionally individuals should discuss all lifestyle habits including nutrition , exercise frequency , smoking/vaping/drug consumption etc., as well as all medications currently taken on by them on daily basis so that appropriate adjustments can be made prior starting treatment if necessary .
