Common Questions?
Does all hormone therapy have these benefits? NO!!! These benefits do NOT apply to the use of common hormone replacements containing estrogens by mouth, PREMARIN (Conjugated Equine Estrogens- horse estrogens from mare urine), PROGESTINS ( man- made compounds used in birth control pills) and PREM-PRO. The use of any of these products can be bad for your health.
Can hormone issues lead to relationship difficulties? Yes! Before you make big decisions about your relationship you and your partner should have your hormones checked. During our 40’s and beyond hormone deficiency can play a major role in relationship discord. Don’t let hormone deficiency make life decisions for you.
I have heard hormones are dangerous and cause breast cancer. Is this true? The only hormone therapy that has been shown to cause breast cancer is the drug PREMPRO. The hormone therapies we use at Vital Living Healthcare may decrease your risk of breast cancer.
My Doctor says hormones don’t need to be measured. Why? There is no reason. Any other hormone that we replace for the body needs to be measured. Estradiol, progesterone and Testosterone do too.
