After a decade of rancorous debate over the risks and benefits of menopausal hormone therapy, experts from more than a dozen top medical organizations worldwide have finally come to something resembling a consensus. What did they decide, and why are women still baffled? What is menopausal hormone therapy? Also called hormone replacement therapy, its a treatment for women in the throes of menopause, the inevitable period of life when estrogen naturally declines. Taking estrogen or a combination of estrogen and another hormone, progestin, the synthetic form of progesterone, can alleviate some of the symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and vaginal dryness, said Atlanta endocrinologist Scott Isaacs. Women typically hit menopause around age 51. Why is hormone therapy controversial? Hormone therapy has been under intense scrutiny since 2002, when a large study called the Womens Health Initiative reported that taking additional hormones - specifically the combination of estrogen and progestin - increased the risk of blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, heart attacks and gall bladder disease for some women. For a woman with a uterus, estrogen treatment alone raises her chance of getting endometrial cancer. The researchers abruptly halted the study, concluding that risks outweighed benefits. Almost … Continue reading →

Oladapo Ashiru | credits: File copy Contd. from last week Androgen: This hormone is responsible for sending your new weight directly to your mid section. In fact, weight gain during menopausal years is often known as mid age spread because of the rapid growth of the mid-section. Often, one of the first signs of menopause is an increased level of androgen in your body, which causes you to gain weight around your abdomen instead of around your lower half. Testosterone: helps your body to create lean muscle mass out of the calories that you take in. Muscle cells burn more calories than fat cells do, thereby increasing your metabolism. In natural menopause, levels of testosterone drop, resulting in the loss of muscle. Unfortunately, this means a lower metabolism rate. The lower your metabolism is, the slower your body burns calories. Hormone replacement There are some misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy that, if followed, can make you gain weight during menopause. The first misconception is that decreased estrogen levels is the main reason for many of the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, such as hot flushes, sweating and mood swings, to mention but a few. We now know that the deficiency in … Continue reading →

London, July 02 : Women, who use hormone replacement therapy (HRT), are at a 30 per cent higher risk of developing brain tumours, a study has revealed. The research, conducted by the Danish Cancer Research Centre, found that the longer a woman is on the treatment, the higher is the risk, the Sun reported. Those who used HRT for ten years or more, had a 70 per cent chance of getting a tumour. The research, which explains why meningioma- the most common brain tumour -is found more frequently in women, also talks about why cases have risen in recent years. According to the research centre, long-term HRT use, particularly of combined oestrogen-progestogen, may increase the risk of meningioma. Women with meningioma also have a higher risk of breast cancer. It was found that about 85 per cent of meningiomas are benign but the tumours still cause symptoms including headaches, seizures, loss of balance and hearing loss.
