More and more women are seeking a natural, safer means to treat their menopause and the many linked symptoms.
Recent medical reports have surfaced that purport there are ample amounts of known risks that go hand-in-hand with using popular drugs to treat the symptoms.
Of the many reasons why more women are turning to natural cures for menopause, these five easily top the list.
They Can Cause Undesirable Side Effects For the many symptoms of the menopause that these drugs treat, they equivocally can cause their own array of undesirable side effects.
Like abnormal weight gain, irritability, depression, poor sex drive and vaginal dryness, just to name a few.
Hormone Therapies Increase the Risks of Contracting Certain Cancers Recent FDA warnings and intensive researching by some of the leading medical institutes in the world have concluded that the risk of contracting certain cancers and diseases-such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, and heart disease-is increased by one hundred percentile for women who are using prescribed hormone therapy and or replacement drugs to treat their menopause.
Only Certain Women Can Use Them There are only certain women who can use such drugs to treat the symptoms of their menopause.
Doctors advise that any women who already have high risks of contracting cancers or diseases, or who have undergone therapy to treat such diseases-like breast cancer, ovarian and uterine cancers, gall bladder disease, heart and liver disease-are unable to take these drugs due to the high associated risk it would present.
They Are Costly, Can Max Out RX Coverages Such hormone therapy drugs are costly, to say the least.
And most women who are using them generally will apply their prescription drug benefits on their health care plan in order to ease this cost.
This can easily maximize the benefits that the health insurance will pay out on each month.
So when it comes time that they need another drug for a different ailment, or medical issue, they can end up having to tender payment out-of-pocket.
Embarrassing to Procure, Semi Effective Against Symptoms Last but not least, the fifth and final reasons is as such.
Prescribed drugs that treat menopause require embarrassing visits to the doctor.
And, most of the time they are only so effective in relieving the many associated symptoms.
Because there is still much mystery surrounding the treatment of this natural female cycle, many times even the best prescribed drugs are only able to treat certain symptoms.
Furthermore, even the most noted medical professionals purport that it's on a case-by-case, patient-to-patient basis.
