Is HRT Safe?

It depends on the type of menopausal hormone therapy you use, your health risks, and how long you take it. While some HRT treatments might cause many side effects, like headaches, muscle changes, and digestive issues, others may have mild or no side effects. We recommend speaking to your General Practitioner (GP) about the available HRT options and which would be best for you.

At Papa Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, we examine your hormone levels and use natural approaches like physical therapies, nutritional counseling, and suggest lifestyle changes to increase your hormonal production and help you overcome the pain associated with menopause.

Who Is Eligible for Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Most women are eligible for HRT treatments if they are experiencing the symptoms of menopause.  However, the therapy may not be suitable for you due to the following:

• History of womb, ovarian, or breast cancer
• History of blood clots
• Liver problem
• High concentration of triglycerides in the blood
• Gallbladder disease
• If you are pregnant
• Suffer from stroke
• Suffer from hypertension and haven’t started treatments yet

If you don’t qualify for HRT, our chiropractors will use alternative treatments like acupressure, acupuncture, and nutrition and lifestyle changes, to help with you condition and relieve your pain.

What Type of HRT Is Best?

There are different types of HRT and the best option depends on your hormone levels and body condition. For instance, your doctor may recommend taking estrogen-only HRT if you have had your ovaries and uterus removed. Also, these HRT types come in different forms, including tablets, gels, skin patches, vaginal creams, and rings. Our chiropractor will work closely with you to determine which type would be suitable for you.
