Why does a woman with menopause or a hysterectomy need hormones?

It is a proven scientific fact that menopause or hysterectomy can cause hormonal imbalance in women. As per the reports of National Women’s health Information Centre, USA, one out of three women by the age of 60 has a hysterectomy done which also amount to 600,000 per annum. If you count the women in 40 plus age group with pre-menopause/menopause symptoms with this statistic you will know that a sizable women population of the country is suffering from hormonal constraint.

What is menopause?

Menopause is a stage where your ovaries lose the ability to produce higher levels of hormones that include estrogen, testosterone and progesterone.  Ovaries as you know are reproductive glands designated to store and release eggs into fallopian tubes. Menopause is a permanent disability that stops menstruation and divest women of reproductive ability. The term menopause is used to describe the changes experienced by women before or after the stoppage of menstruation.

What is hysterectomy?

Hysterectomy is the procedure used to remove uterus surgically. The procedure while removing uterus also compromises with the blood supply to ovaries causing atrophy or ovarian dysfunction. This could lead to declined levels of hormone production. The surgery is performed when women suffer from issues like uterine fibroid, uterine prolapsed or displacement of uterus, abnormal vaginal bleeding, cancer of uterus, ovaries or cervix, thickening of uterus or adeonomyosis etc.

Hysterectomy surgery leaves women in a surgical menopause stage. This is not natural menopause but induced surgically, so it drastically reduces the production of estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. In the natural process, it is gradual and takes years to decrease hormone levels but with hysterectomy a woman may go through drastic changes taking place in her body and with that decline of hormone levels.

What are hormones and how they help body functions?

These are messenger elements that travel via blood stream across all body systems so as to start, stop, slow down or speed up chemical and physical processes and functions. Conventionally women have been advised not to worry about the absence of ovaries or uterus as they are not needed any longer and along with that the hormones that they produce. It is not true because rest of your body needs hormones to function even if you don’t need them for uterus or ovaries.

How do the three primary hormones help in the functioning of your body?

Estrogen

  • Helps in the growth of muscle tissues such as the development of reproductive organs and breasts and enable them to function efficiently.
  • Conserve moisture content and elasticity of the skin, prevent plaque from forming in walls of blood vessels and dilates blood vessels.
  • Enhance brains functions and synthesis of neurotransmitters that influence moods, sleep, libido and cognitive factors such as focus and learning and memory.
  • Helps preserve bone mass
  • Reduces the awareness of pain
  • Increases good cholesterol or HDL
  • Lower levels of estrogen will lead to dry vagina and painful sex

Progesterone

  • Progesterone is produced by ovaries primarily but is also produced by brain cells, adrenal glands and peripheral nerves in reduced levels.
  • Assure the development of breasts and female reproductive tract and their related functions
  • Attach to receptors in the brain to produce sedating and calming effect
  • Provides protection against seizures and improves sleep
  • It being diuretic, removes sodium from kidneys effectively by helping them
  • Insulin sensitivity of body is enhanced by progesterone
  • Body metabolism and functioning of thyroid hormones is enhanced
  • Helps in the process of bone building
  • Improves and streamlines cardiovascular system by preventing the formation of plaque in blood vessels. Also helps reduce triglycerides levels in the blood.
  • Importantly increases levels of libido
  • Contributes to the efficient use and management of fat as an energy source.

Testosterone

  • Testosterone is produced in ovaries and adrenal glands of women
  • Builds muscles, bones and importantly strengthens ligaments
  • Helps in the function of brain, and is affiliated with sense of well-being and assertive behavior
  • Increased testosterone levels play a great role in peaceful sleep and body stamina
  • Testosterone is a great protective cover against heart diseases in both women and men

Learn More About Breast Cancer Screening and Prevention

Breast-Cancer-Awarness-Fountain-of-Youth-October is Breast Cancer Awareness month – and that means thousands of organizations across the country are rallying to inform the world about the causes, symptoms, and treatments for breast cancer. By raising awareness, it’s hoped that more women (and men!) will prioritize keeping themselves healthy, as well as engage in regular breast cancer screenings.

At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas, anti-aging expert Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are committed to helping clients learn more about breast cancer, including what steps they can take to minimize their risks for developing this disease. With 1 in 8 women estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer within their lives, it’s more important than ever to give people the information they need to stay healthy and cancer-free.

Dr. Le recommends taking the following steps to cut down on your risk for developing breast cancer:

• Limit your alcohol intake. Multiple studies have shown that drinking more than one drink per day can greatly increase your risk for developing breast cancer.

• Same rule applies with smoking. In addition to increasing your breast cancer risk, smoking can make it more likely that you’ll develop heart disease, lung cancer, and other deadly diseases.

• Be physically active. In addition to controlling your weight, being physical activity for 30 minutes each day can help slash your risk for breast cancer.

• Ensure that a professional administers any hormone therapy. At Fountain of Youth Medical Spa, Dr. Le ensures that all hormone therapy treatments are done with your health and safety in mind. That way, you can enjoy the youth-enhancing benefits of hormone therapy without worrying about your health.

• Undergo regular screenings for breast cancer. Getting a mammogram is still one of the best ways to stay healthy, as your physician can catch any cancerous tumors at their earliest stages.

For more information on how to keep yourself healthy and happy for life, schedule a consultation with Dr. Le at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas today. Call (361) 576-9100 to learn more.

Surprising Causes of Low Libido In Women

Low LibidoWhen it comes to getting older, many people focus on the fact that men start to lose their libido (after all, there’s an entire pharmacological industry based around it).   But very little spotlight is shed on a woman’s libido, particularly in her golden years.  No matter what the reasons why this might be, it’s important for women of all ages to know that a low libido doesn’t always have to be an inevitable consequence of getting older…

In fact, it can often be boiled down to hormonal fluctuations.

Low libido and sex drive are often seen in premenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women; even younger women complain about having a low sex drive.  This complaint can usually be attributed to hormones changing during the menopausal process (or, in cases of younger women, changing hormones due to birth control).

For women going through menopause, three hormones begin to drastically change: progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen.  Progesterone takes a nosedive during this time, which allows estrogen to dominate hormonal levels.  Excessively high levels of estrogen have been shown to cause low libido in women, as well as muscle atrophy, increased lethargy, and other symptoms.

Unfortunately, testosterone is no help here.  During menopause, the body tells the ovaries to start reducing the amount of testosterone being produced.  Since testosterone is the hormone responsible for regulating and promoting a person’s sex drive, women often experience lower sexual drive.

If you’ve been suffering from a low libido, it might be time to consider hormone therapy at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Owner and operator Dr. Nhi Le is a certified anti-aging expert, which means she has the experience and know-how necessary to create and implement highly successful hormone treatments.

What’s more, Dr. Le offers pellet hormone therapy, which is a unique approach to administering hormones.  With pellet hormone therapy, hormones are delivered right into the bloodstream, allowing for greater efficacy and faster results.  Dr. Le is one of the few providers in the greater Victoria, Texas area who offers this innovative approach to hormone therapy.

To learn more about correcting a low libido – not to mention feeling refreshed, energetic, and alert again!

Lack of Energy? It Might Be This Surprising Issue

Let’s face it: Today’s modern lifestyle is practically designed to make you feel drained and tired by the end of the day.  In fact, if you’re not dragging yourself to bed by the time the evening rolls around, you’re not doing something right – or so it would seem.

But are you really tired because of your busy lifestyle – or could there be something else to blame?  Is there another reason why you’re feeling so lethargic and unable to keep up with your schedule?

As it turns out, you may have your thyroid to blame.  If you’ve never given your thyroid a second thought, it’s time to examine whether it’s responsible for your lethargic feeling.  This butterfly-shaped gland is responsible for producing the hormones that help keep your metabolism balanced and your energy levels feeling normal.  If your thyroid is hyperactive, you’ll end up always feeling energetic and unable to gain weight (hyperthyroidism).

If, on the other hand, your thyroid isn’t producing enough hormones, you’ll experience the following symptoms:

If these symptoms sound familiar to you, it might be time to get your thyroid tested to see if you’re suffering from hypothyroidism.  Fortunately, this condition can be treated with medication or a course of hormone treatments, which help regulate the underactive thyroid and help give it the boost it needs.

Wondering if you could be suffering from hypothyroidism?  Ask yourself the following questions to see if you’re demonstrating the symptoms of this disease:

  • Do I find it difficult to feel energetic and refreshed, even after getting a full night’s sleep?
  • Am I losing interest in the activities that I once use to be enthusiastic about?
  • Do I have a lack of interest in sex? Has my sex drive taken a nosedive?
  • Is it hard to generate enthusiasm for things that I used to enjoy?
  • Have I been feeling weak and lethargic, no matter how much rest I get?
  • Am I unable to lose weight, despite trying?

If you answered “yes” to one or more of the following questions, schedule a consultation with Dr. Nhi Le of Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas. Dr. Le can create and administer the ideal hormone treatment so you can feel restored and refreshed again.

Can the O-Shot Cure Stress Incontinence?

Ever heard of the O-Shot?  It’s a unique new treatment that makes it possible for women to experience stronger orgasms, increase natural lubrication, and even heighten sexual desire.  While this is certainly intriguing, women who suffer from stress incontinence – in other words, losing control of one’s bladder – may be delighted to know that the O-Shot has another surprising effect: it’s ability to completely cure stress continence.

When the O-Shot was first developed by Dr. Charles Runels, it’s primary goal was to help women achieve better sex lives via stronger orgasms (hence, the name of the treatment).  However, during trials, Dr. Runels was stunned to realize that about 90% of his patients with stress incontinence were reporting another surprising effect: they completely stopped leaking urine after receiving their treatment.

What’s even more exciting is that after additional study, Dr. Runels found that the number was closer to 99.9% in younger women with a BMI below 25.

If you suffer from stress incontinence and want to put an end to this embarrassing problem, it’s time to schedule a consultation at the Fountain of Youth Medical Spa in Victoria, Texas.  Dr. Nhi Le and her staff members are pleased to offer patients the O-Shot treatment.  Dr. Le recommends the O-Shot for clients who have reported the following symptoms:

  • A lack of desire
  • Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (women find it difficult to get physically aroused)
  • Female Orgasmic Disorder (having difficulty achieving orgasm)
  • Dyspareunia (suffering from pain during sex)

In addition to these symptoms, Dr. Le also recommends the O-Shot for women who suffer from incontinence.  If you experience sudden bladder leakage, cannot control your bladder, or have leaked urine while laughing or sneezing, the O-Shot could help you regain control over your symptoms.

The O-Shot is relatively simple to administer.  During the procedure, Dr. Le will collect platelet rich plasma (PRP) from the patient’s blood, then combine it into a cocktail with calcium chloride.  Once injected into the treatment area, the O-Shot can help eliminate stress incontinence, as well as improve a woman’s overall sexual desire and pleasure.

Treat Urinary Incontinence with the Female Intimate Wellness Treatment

It’s no understatement to say that urinary incontinence can be an embarrassing problem.  After all, losing control of your bladder can be extremely inconvenient, mortifying, and downright depressing.  When you don’t know when you’re going to lose control of your bladder, it can make you feel self-conscious and fearful.  What’s more, if you’re at work or running errands with loved ones, it can be frustrating to take time away from your schedule to deal with bladder issues.

Urinary incontinence can range in severity.  For some, this condition is as simple as having urine leak occasionally when you’re sneezing; for others, it can be so strong and frequent that you often don’t make it to the toilet before you lose control of your bladder.

Fortunately, there’s a new treatment out there that can help people take control of their bladders again – and it’s all in the form of an innovative shot.
