Should women take estrogen and progesterone support? Or do these cause cancer?
Menopause drugs, which were used like cheese and bread until 15 years ago, were discontinued all over the world, like a great sin, after the WHI study conducted in America. Because increases in the rates of strokes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer were detected.
Frankly, until then, hot flashes, vaginal atrophy, mental disorders due to hormonal changes in the menopausal period, depression, osteoporosis, dryness, and sexual reluctance were symptoms that we could easily cope with with these drugs. When they stopped taking menopause medications (synthetic estrogen progesterone derivatives), they started to experience these problems again and their quality of life decreased. But we decided that it would be okay if she had a fever rather than getting breast cancer, if she had depression, she should take anti-depressants, if she had a lack of sexual reluctance, it would be okay even if it wasn't after this age.
However, we realized too late that the drugs we use are synthetic estrogen and synthetic progesterone derivatives, that they have nothing to do with the "natural" estrogen and "natural" progesterone that have been circulating in the blood of human beings for millions of years, and that these synthetic chemical species increase the risk of cancer.
Frankly, it is a pity for the women who entered menopause in this interim period, that is, in the last 15 years, as they experienced countless problems such as brain aging, osteoporosis, depression, irritability and hot flashes. Especially, brain functions decrease irreversibly after being left without estrogen for 10 years. Isn't it sad?
There is also a group of people who say, I want to go with the flow in my natural state, I do not take supplements, hormones, vitamins or supplements. What I can tell them is that for mother nature, humankind's work ends with the end of the reproductive age, and after this period, humans prepare for the end. When the reproductive age ends, let's say the age of 50, men and women rapidly decline and age. I don't know about you, but I'm not okay with this. I take my nutritional supplements, vitamins, and missing hormones from outside and maintain my quality of life.
Studies have clearly shown that using bioequivalent hormones, that is, natural estrogen and progesterone support, does not increase the risk of cancer more than it already is, and in some cases it is even true that they reduce it. I am waiting for you to chat about this subject.
