Estrogens, as predominantly female sex hormones, play a very important role in the maintenance of bone structure.
Estrogen levels vary throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle and with age. Once the menstrual cycle ceases definitively and menopause arrives, the concentrations of these hormones drop considerably. A lower secretion of estrogens has as a consequence a negative regulatory effect between the amount of bone tissue that our body manufactures and the amount that is reabsorbed, “we reabsorb more bone tissue than is replaced”, something that leads to weaker bones and greater risk of fractures. Osteoporosis is the most frequent skeletal disease, characterized by low bone mass and an alteration in the architecture of bone tissue. As a consequence of the increase in life expectancy, the number of cases of osteoporosis is increasing rapidly, making it a public health problem. It is in the case of postmenopausal women with estrogen deficiency, where we speak of primary osteoporosis. 1 in 4 women over the age of 50 suffer from this disease. Prevention and treatment Some of the main objectives to solve this problem are the prevention and treatment of this pathology. An adequate intake of vitamin D, calcium and other minerals such as magnesium can be very effective. This is because these compounds, along with estrogens, are actively involved in the bone formation process. A healthy lifestyle and regular exercise are also essential in the control of osteoporosis. Hormone therapy for menopause is one of the treatment options for relieving symptoms associated with menopause, which is It is carried out through the administration of drugs of synthetic origin. This therapy is also useful for increasing bone density and preventing mass loss by stabilizing it, thus slowing down the development of osteoporosis. However, the use of these medications has been linked to the appearance of important side effects such as strokes and coagulation disorders that have led to re-evaluation of the treatment and even the withdrawal of some drugs from the market. Alternative therapies There are other alternatives in the treatment of menopause and consequently in the prevention of osteoporosis. “At Doctor Life Clinics, we offer therapies for all kinds of hormonal imbalances, including estrogen deficiency, using bioidentical hormones of plant origin for hormone replacement, avoiding the side effects of other treatments.” This hormone replacement therapy consists of providing the body with those hormones that it is not capable of producing in sufficient quantities, adjusting to the needs of each patient. This technique is carried out in a simple way by the medical team at Clínicas Doctor Life by implanting a hormonal P-chip subcutaneously in the buttock. In this way, a prolonged and constant release of the hormones is achieved over time so that they are slowly absorbed by the body and thus achieve an adequate level throughout the process.
