Hormone Replacement Therapy: The Only Treatment Approved By the FDA for Cooling Hot Flashes

Sooner or later, every woman will reach menopause and begin to experience the condition's uncomfortable symptoms, chief among them hot flashes. These flashes of heat occur when feelings of heat wash over the body, especially the face, and are sometimes accompanied by sweating or going flush. Hot flashes are frequently reported as the worst symptom of menopause and periomenopause, and can occur many times a day. The condition can affect some women for up to a decade.

That's certainly a long time to be uncomfortable, so it's no surprise that medical science has been looking for a way to provide women relief. However, many of their methods have proven to be unsuccessful or have seen mixed results at best. Scientists have been testing whether some low dose antidepressants can help alleviate these flashes of heat, and the results are not optimistic. Studies have produced mixed results, with some finding no positive effects. In other studies, women who reported a change in hot flashes as a result of antidepressants did so possibly as result of their own perceptions due to placebo effect. The sad fact is antidepressants seem unlikely to legitimately cure a woman of her hot flashes.

While exercise or diet changes have been effective in helping some women beat the heat, there is only one medical treatment available to women proven to provide relief from the condition. Hormone replacement therapy, available at cutting edge anti-aging clinics, is currently the only treatment approved by the FDA for cooling hot flashes.

And while some women follow bad advice by avoiding hormone replacement therapy and continue to suffer, other women experience the benefits the treatment offers - including relief from uncomfortable hot flashes. The body's natural hormone production is diminished due to menopause, which is the cause behind this symptom and other uncomfortable symptoms, including sleep problems and issues with libido. HRT can eliminate these menopausal symptoms entirely, returning the body to a healthy balance and restoring a woman's quality of life.

At specialty anti-aging clinics, doctors that are experts in the field of anti-aging, create a complete health profile of each patient, and provide customized treatment that's tailored to individual body chemistry. The result of bioidentical hormone therapy is total relief from symptoms - including the dreaded hot flashes. And with so many uncertainties surrounding other ways to treat the 'heat', opt for the sure thing - Hormone Replacement Therapy. The only FDA approved therapy for cooling hot flashes.
