1. Avoid (HRT), hormone replacement therapy. Synthetic HRT increases the risk of breast cancer. In 2002, a double-blind placebo study huge called “Women’s Health Initiative, funded by the World Health Organization (WHO) was stopped prematurely because it has been demonstrated in the study that HRT causes breast cancer.
The natural bioidentical hormones on the other side is safe. It is made from herbal plants such as soy and yams. The herbs are processed to produce bio-identical progesterone and natural estrogen production, may take different forms cream or oral.
It is difficult to determine if someone needs some form of hormonal balance - if you feel well and have no symptoms listed below, it is very unlikely that we should do or change anything whatsoever. However, many postmenopausal women who come to our environment suffering clinical symptoms include fatigue, breast tenderness premenstrual, fibrocystic breast condition, short menstrual cycle (less than 28 days), anxiety, headaches, visual disturbances sleep, low libido, depression and PMS. Menopausal women may have some of these symptoms apart from hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and memory problems. If some of these complaints are present in a patient, it is important to identify the hormonal deficiencies.
We closely monitor the hormone levels of blood tests, although not as reliable as saliva tests, which measure levels of bioavailable hormone free, or collect urine for 24 hours, which examines the that the metabolites excreted in 24 hours period.Unfortunately, there are saliva and urine covered by OHIP at this time. Once identified, single or multiple hormone deficiencies can be corrected by the use of bioidentical hormones, which have anti-aging effects on the nature of their action.
The effect of these hormones are specific dose, but rather in the nature is not necessarily better - if the hormones at very high doses can cause side effects.Many women have heard of major effects of progesterone decide to self-medication, caution needs to be done here - some of progesterone products on the market have very little effect. pharmacies that prepare a reliable and consistent, but this would require a prescription from your doctor. One of the best books on the subject was published by Dr. John Lee called “What your doctor can tell you is for breast cancer.” For more information on bioidentical hormones and breast cancer prevention, www.drpettle.com visit.
2. Limit or avoid birth control pills. Even the smallest pill contains seven times the amount of estrogen in your body. The investigation concluded that the single risk factor for the future development of breast cancer is lifetime exposure to estrogen in the breast. It seems that monitoring the effects of estrogen in the breast is the most important primary prevention of breast cancer.
It was not until 1905 that Theodoor Hendrik Van de Velde, a Dutch gynecologist, showed that only women ovulate once per menstrual cycle. In the decade from 1920, Kyusaku Ogino, a Japanese gynecologist, and Hermann Knaus of Austria, have independently discovered that ovulation occurs about fourteen days before the next menstruation.
Thus, the Knaus-Ogino or Rhythm (or Calendar) is one of the “organic” forms of birth control. A couple avoids unprotected intercourse just before, during and immediately after ovulation. For over 100 years, the rhythm method was promoted by the Catholic Church as the only morally acceptable form of family planning. Ovulation is about 14 days before the start of a woman. Since sperm can live inside the vagina for three days and an egg can stay fertile in the fallopian tubes and vagina for 3 days, unprotected sex should be avoided for more than a day of ovulation .
To be sure, a woman should abstain from sex (condoms Horus) 5 days before ovulation, and 5 days later. The efficiency of the transformation rate depends on how it is done carefully. The study, published in June 1998 of the Journal of Reproductive Medicine, found the technique had an impressive success rate of 96% in preventing pregnancy, compares favorably with other methods of contraception. Women should keep track of three things: the secretions of the body core temperature, the fertile days of their cycle, as measured by a calendar, and cervix.
This can be difficult for women with irregular menstrual cycles may have to answer that first question. Let’s face it, it is much easier for a doctor to prescribe a pill to “regulate” the cycle of a woman to discuss the natural form of birth control, and treat the underlying cause of menstrual irregularity .Although it is difficult to discuss this issue, particularly with younger women, I think it’s always worth asking someone from the pill.
