Dr. Aleks Letnikovs prefers to treat his patients only with bioidentical hormones. The term “bioidentical” means the hormones in the product are chemically identical to those in the human body. Common hormones that are matched are oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
If the patient is against any hormonal therapy, we always try to find an alternative solution (non-hormonal drugs or remedies) suitable for patient.
The doses, routes of administration, duration and regimens of hormone replacement therapy are important for the safety of the patient and successful mitigation of risks and consequences of menopause.
According to statistics, women aged 45 to 52 (sometimes earlier) start to notice the first symptoms of menopausal transition. The symptoms may vary depending on lifestyle, genetics and other health conditions.
A change in hormone levels can provoke other undesirable side effects and increase the risk of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular pathologies, arthrosis, autoimmune diseases, dementia, etc.
If hormones are used without assessing the risks of this therapy for each patient, various side effects may occur such as cholelithiasis, thrombosis, cancer, etc. However, delayed hormone replacement therapy can lead to dementia (dementia is a group of conditions characterised by impairment of at least two brain functions, such as memory and sanity).
