Posted on May 30, 2010 under Menopause | No CommentWhat is the estrogen therapy and hormonal therapy?
The estrogen in tablets or in the form of gel is the most effective therapy against heat inflow during such period at the woman. Therapy by an estrogen is such therapy at which a hormone the estrogen is applied separately. But since the estrogen at the given therapy can become the reason of a cancer of a uterus, in addition to it still appoint a hormone progestin to lower risk.
And consequently the term therapy by an estrogen and progestin concerns that kind of therapy at which the doctor orders to accept both these of a hormone (for women at whom the uterus is kept). This therapy still carries the name as the combined hormonal therapy.
The term «hormonal therapy» is more general term which designates that the estrogen is appointed separately (for women at whom the uterus).
By-effects and risks of hormonal therapy:
At hormonal therapy at the woman by-effects can be observed; they can be divided into insignificant and considerable by-effects. Insignificant by-effects are extended more than the serious. Such symptoms:
- Headaches
- A nausea
- A chest pain
Still there is disputable a question, which hormone is at the bottom of occurrence of the given by-effects. Therefore, if by-effects are observed within several months the doctor should replace or clean a part of any hormone.
Leaning against recent researches, scientific have found out that those women who accept hormones, do not type excess weight, unlike those women who do not take place hormonal therapy. It occurs because the process of ageing and menopause are connected with an excess weight set, irrespective of hormonal therapy.
More serious by-effects at hormonal therapy include:
Increase of risk of formation of blood clots in veins of feet (thrombosis) and in lungs. However it is necessary to remember that such phenomena are rare at menopause. And consequently risk of occurrence of such infringements at the healthy woman the minimum. To women at whom in a family such infringements were observed, it is necessary to reconsider a question on carrying out of hormonal therapy.
Uterus cancer: Scientists have found out that those women at whom the uterus is kept, and they pass hormonal therapy are subject to risk of a cancer of a uterus. For today doctors register to accept two hormones simultaneously: an estrogen and progestin. Progestin warns occurrence of a cancer of a uterus.
If there are still any reasons at the woman with a uterus on which it cannot accept progestin the doctor should take some images of a fabric of a uterus (an intrauterine biopsy) and to carry investigation every year on a uterus cancer. Women, who do not have uterus, have no risk of a cancer of a uterus.
Breast cancer: Under last scientific data it was found out that the women passing hormonal therapy are subject to occurrence of a cancer of a breast, however this risk minimum. The risk of a cancer of a breast at hormonal therapy rises at long hormonal therapy, from five years and more.
