Pain during the perimenopause/menopause transition…many different etiologies have been identified as a trigger and options to manage thes pain are available. I am a firm beleiver in a thorough medical history and work up . If undying conditions are missed and attributed to “hormones” irreversible damage may result. A missed diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis can result in permanent joint disfigurement.
It’s not worth the assumption and the missed diagnosis. Hormones help with inflammation, but they are merely one tool in the toolbox towards optimizing wellness.

Menopause is a natural stage in women’s lives, marking the end of their reproductive years.

Most women experience it between the ages of 45 and 55, as ovarian follicular function and estrogen levels decline.

On Sunday’s World Menopause Day, the World Health Organization (WHO) highlights the importance of understanding menopause and its impact on women’s health. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/menopause

The peptide people inject for nagging injuries works by boosting blood flow. Cancer cells need blood flow, too.

That is the concern Vikas Patel, an emergency medicine physician who also runs a longevity practice, raises about BPC-157. It gets talked up for a rotator cuff injury, tendonitis, or a muscle strain that has been nagging for months: a round of injections for six to eight weeks, and the hope that everything goes back to normal. Most of what patients hear about it comes from podcasts and social media, and the calls reach him every week.

The way it is thought to repair tissue is new blood flow. "It increases blood flow to areas that may not be getting good blood flow, which is the issue of tendons and ligaments," he said. "And so if it's increasing blood flow in one location, it can also be increasing blood flow to potential cancer cells, and that's the long-term concern."

Nobody can tell you how big that risk is. A trial that enrolled 42 patients in 2016 closed without ever reporting results, and the documented human data since then is a handful of people. In his words, "we have no long-term data on any of this."

He doesn't tell patients they're foolish for asking. He thinks some of the popular peptides will probably turn out to be useful, and he says patients aren't wrong to look for something they're not getting from traditional medicine. What he offers is a straight conversation about what is known, what isn't, and what the mechanism could mean.

He'll support a patient either way. His one condition:

"You have to know, eyes wide open, what you're getting into."

I’m forever perplexed that I still can’t convince patients that oral HRT is not a good option for them to stay on. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Compared with no use of hormone therapy, oral menopausal hormone therapy was associated with increased venous thromboembolic risk regardless of dosage and treatment duration, finds new BMJ study.

No increased thrombotic risks were observed with transdermal therapy

Small changes can help move towards optimal health. The saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” is my favorite. We did not become unhealthy overnightand we can’t undo the problems overnight. Trying to fix health concerns too quickly or too many at a time is daunting and overwhelming for patients. A step at a time is key. You’ll get there. Start with sleep. Fix your sleep, your nutrition, your movement …
You will feel fabulous !

This is my sweet, beautiful mom💕
She will be 85 on Monday.
She is one of many women who has been affected by recurrent UTIs of menopause. In April she was admitted to the hospital with urosepsis due to a resistant strain of bacteria that had come about due to the use of prolonged antibiotics to prevent these infections. When I was able to find a better way to many her vaginal estrogen (the three month vaginal ring), she has not had another infection since. If you are in menopause you should absolutely be using vaginal estrogen to prevent UTI and urosepsis. If you are my patient you are likely tired of this discussion 😂. But this is why I persist. I am passionate about getting the message across. The fewer antibiotics you take, the better. The healthier the vaginal mucosa, the more your urethra and bladder can protect you from pathogens. The integrity of this tissue is important and might save your life.💕
