Why are you struggling with anxiety and panic attacks?
Hormonal fluctuations can negatively influence mental health, leading to anxiety and panic attacks in some women. These episodes can be particularly prevalent during periods of hormonal transition, such as puberty, pre-menstruation, postpartum, motherhood, perimenopause, and menopause.
Though most people believe hormone disruptions occur later in life, these hormonal changes can begin when a woman is in her twenties.
How do hormonal changes in women lead to anxiety and panic attacks?
Hormonal changes can affect neurotransmitter systems in the brain that regulate mood and stress response. Fluctuations in hormones such as estrogen and progesterone can increase susceptibility to anxiety and panic attacks during certain life stages, including the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum period, motherhood and menopause.
Testosterone is also a big part of mood and energy levels that can lead to anxiety. Testosterone greatly decreases in women after the age of thirty.
What are the symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks associated with hormonal changes?
Symptoms of anxiety may include persistent worry, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, and insomnia. Panic attacks are characterized by sudden, intense episodes of fear or discomfort, accompanied by physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and sweating. These symptoms can be exacerbated during periods of hormonal fluctuation.
What treatment options are available for managing anxiety and panic attacks due to hormonal changes?
While many healthcare providers treat anxiety and panic attacks with antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications, we believe that only masks the symptoms and leads to severe side effects.
At Epiphany Women’s Health, we believe that hormones are the secret to treating anxiety and panic attacks. The fact is, hormones are critical components to human survival and well-being.
Healthcare professionals severely underestimate the number of women in the world that have low estrogen and testosterone levels. Instead, healthcare professionals prescribe antidepressants when hormone replacement is the answer with so many long term benefits and fewer side effects.
Let’s discuss in more detail our treatment option that we believe will help you: bioidentical (human identical) hormone replacement therapy.
What is the best hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
Bioidentical hormones are compounds manufactured in a laboratory to chemically match the hormones naturally produced by the human body, primarily estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Unlike conventional hormone therapies, which may use synthetic or animal-derived hormones, bioidentical hormones aim to offer a more natural hormone replacement option.
What are the benefits of bioidentical hormones?
The primary advantage of bioidentical hormones is their chemical similarity to the body's natural hormones, which may lead to a reduction in side effects for some women. Advocates for BHRT argue that this can result in a more efficient and natural way to restore hormonal balance.
Additionally, BHRT can be customized to fit the specific hormonal needs of each individual, potentially offering a more precise treatment method.
What method of BHRT do we use?
At Epiphany women’s health, we use pellet therapy to administer BHRT. We believe that the pellets offer the safest and most reliable mode of treatment.
Oral medication, patches, and creams can cause damage to the liver and often cause rollercoaster like symptoms because their release of the hormones are not consistent. Pellet therapy offers slow release at a consistent rate.
Please book a consultation to discuss your symptoms, possible lab tests to determine if you have an underlying health condition, and possibly beginning bioidentical hormone therapy.
Always consult a healthcare professional for the most current information and personalized advice.
