Are you too young to struggle with night sweats and trouble sleeping?

Unfortunately, No. Though most people believe hormone disruptions occur later in life, these hormonal changes can begin when a woman is in her twenties.

What are the symptoms of night sweats and hormonal sleep disturbances?

Symptoms include intense heat or sweating during the night, frequent awakenings, trouble falling asleep, and feeling tired or unrefreshed upon waking.

Some women may also experience mood swings, irritability, and difficulty concentrating due to lack of quality sleep.

What treatment options are available for managing night sweats and sleep disturbances caused by hormonal changes?

Treatment options include:

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Can effectively alleviate night sweats, improve sleep quality, and improve daily life greatly

Lifestyle adjustments: Maintaining a cool sleeping environment, wearing breathable clothing, and avoiding spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime can help.

Natural remedies and supplements: Phytoestrogens, black cohosh, and other herbal supplements may provide relief for some women, though their effectiveness and safety vary.

Are there lifestyle changes that can improve night sweats and sleep quality?

Yes, several lifestyle modifications can help, including:

● Establishing a regular sleep schedule, avoiding phones, computers, and tvs two hours before bedtime. Creating a comfortable, cool sleeping environment.

● Practicing regular physical activity and weight lifting Practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, to reduce stress.

● Staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet.

Night sweats and poor sleep due to hormonal changes are common issues faced by many women. We love helping women with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy because it actually works and helps women live a better life. 

Let’s discuss 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.
