Both ageism and sexism impact older women's health care access and outcomes. ⁠
⁠
Ageism: Society often views the aging population as a burden, leading to inadequate medical attention for older women. Symptoms are dismissed as “normal” aging issues.⁠
⁠
Sexism: Historically, women were excluded from studies, creating a gap in women’s health research. Unique health issues like menopause and BMS were misunderstood and trivialized.⁠
⁠
To this day, doctors often misdiagnose or undertreat conditions like BMS due to these biases. Changing this narrative involves better education for healthcare providers and raising awareness.⁠
⁠
Empowering yourself to advocate for your health can lead to better diagnoses and treatment options.⁠
⁠
This is especially important if you are suffering from Burning Mouth Syndrome. Get started today with the free resources on our website.

Shockingly, only about 20% of OB-GYN residency programs provide menopause-related training, leaving many doctors unprepared. ⁠
⁠
Around 80% of medical residents feel “barely comfortable” discussing or treating menopause, leading to misdiagnoses and inadequate treatment. ⁠
⁠
A 2020 AARP survey found that 45% of women aged 45-60 felt their doctors didn't take their menopausal symptoms seriously. 🚫 ⁠
⁠
Discussing menopause should be a standard part of healthcare. Women deserve to be understood and properly treated. 🌸⁠

Did you know that hormone therapy can help with Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS)? 🌿⁠
⁠
BMS is a chronic neuropathic pain condition, mostly affecting perimenopausal and menopausal women. Balanced hormone therapy provides significant benefits:⁠
⁠
Pain Relief: Many BMS patients experience relief from chronic pain.Improved ⁠
⁠
Enhancing Nerve Health: Hormones improve nerve function and have neuroprotective effects.⁠
⁠
Reducing Inflammation: Estrogen and progesterone reduce inflammation, minimizing chronic pain.⁠
⁠
Well-being: Women on hormone therapy show less depression and better coping ability.⁠
⁠
Clinical studies and patient experiences confirm these benefits, helping women regain their quality of life.⁠

Did you know bioidentical hormones are safer than synthetic hormones? ⁠
⁠
Bioidentical vs. Synthetic: Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are molecules identical to what your body naturally produces. ⁠
⁠
Bioidentical molecules behave more predictably at receptors and during metabolism, making them safer with fewer risks and side effects than synthetic hormones.⁠
⁠
Synthetic hormones like Provera and Premarin have different structures and more side effects, increasing risks of breast cancer, heart disease, and strokes. Bioidentical hormones do not carry these risks. ⁠
⁠
Bioidentical hormones have been shown to support heart health, reduce ⁠
inflammation and decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis.⁠

One unfinished, misunderstood study set back women’s hormone health by 20 years.⁠
⁠
In 2002, a major study called the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) aimed to show that combining Premarin (an estrogen) with Provera (a progestin) was beneficial for women. 💊⁠
⁠
The study was halted early when preliminary data suggested a possible increased risk of breast cancer, strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots. ⚠️⁠
⁠
The result? Widespread fear and confusion and an FDA-issued “black box” warning on ALL estrogen-containing menopause products. 🚫⁠
⁠
But the study had issues. Synthetic, not bioidentical, hormones were used, and the women studied were, on average, 63 years old with pre-existing conditions. 🧬⁠
⁠
We now know bioidentical hormones are safer and more effective, especially when started within 10 years of menopause. 🌸⁠
⁠
New research shows that bioidentical hormones carry not only lower risk but also offer far more benefits, such as improved brain function and reduced mortality rates. 🌿⁠
⁠
Millions of women were deprived of hormone treatment for decades - treatment that could have saved lives. 💡⁠

Unsure about trying hormone therapy? Let’s dispel some common myths! 🌿

Myth: Hormone therapy causes cancer.
Fact: The issue was with synthetic hormones. Bioidentical hormones do not increase the risk of breast cancer.

Myth: Hormone therapy increases heart disease and stroke risks.
Fact: The old synthetic hormone Premarin caused increased blood clotting. Bioidentical hormones, especially in non-oral forms such as patches or creams, are generally safer.

Myth: Hormone therapy causes Alzheimer’s disease.
Fact: The combination of Premarin and Provera increased dementia due to mini-strokes, not Alzheimer’s. Bioidentical hormones actually reduce Alzheimer’s risk by 80%.

There is also strong evidence that hormone therapy is helpful for chronic pain conditions like Burning Mouth Syndrome.

Hormone therapy has been a heated topic for decades. 🧐The history is a roller coaster of breakthroughs and missteps:⁠
⁠
1940s: Hormone therapy started with the concept of being "feminine forever" using Premarin, derived from pregnant mares' urine.⁠
⁠
1970s: Premarin, used alone, led to a surge in endometrial cancer, shaking confidence in hormone therapy.⁠
⁠
1980s: Research showed that adding progesterone to the regimen reduced cancer risk, reigniting hormone therapy usage.⁠
⁠
2002: The infamous “Women’s Health Initiative” study was halted when preliminary results possibly linked Premarin and Provera to increased risks of breast cancer and heart issues. ⁠
⁠
New research determined the problem was the use of synthetic hormones - and shows that bioidentical hormones do not increase risks of cancer and heart issues. 🌿⁠
⁠
This history shows the importance of ongoing research. Many women were deprived of life-saving hormone treatments based on a warning that did not need to apply to bioidentical hormones. ⁠

Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) shows up way more often in women than men. In one study, women were about 5x more likely to have BMS, and risk was even higher around perimenopause, menopause, and after 70. Hormone shifts may play a role, which is why BMS can be linked to changes in estrogen and progesterone.⁠
⁠
The good news? Understanding the risk factors can help you spot BMS sooner, ask better questions, and take a more proactive approach to nutrition, sleep, and stress.⁠
