Women seeking hormonal treatments for menopausal symptoms anti-aging clinicians -
Sensing that conventional doctors do not take seriously their suffering, women have instead sought hormonal treatments for menopausal symptoms struggle against -Aging clinicians, according to a Case Western Reserve University study that investigated the use of anti-aging medicine.
Some women also feared the harmful side effects of conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which showed an increased risk for cancer, heart disease and high blood pressure. Yet they thought that bioidentical, "natural" hormones their prescribed anti-aging doctors were safe, despite a lack of conventional scientific evidence of this fact.
Michael Flatt, a doctoral candidate in sociology at Case Western Reserve University, and Jennifer Fishman, assistant professor at McGill University, will discuss these and other results during the presentation "Hormones where it is '. Bioidentical hormones, menopausal women, and anti-aging medicine "Monday, August 18 at the 109th annual meeting of the American Sociological Association, August 16 to 19 in San Francisco
conclusions on attitudes of women are part of a larger study in the department of Bioethics at Case Western Reserve who investigated the views of scientists, doctors and patients involved in science and anti-aging medicine.
researchers who conducted the study with Richard Settersten Jr., professor of public health at Oregon State University, explored what it was on the fight against -Aging medicine that appeals to women because the costs for care and prescription drugs are not covered by medical insurance
. Is it vanity to maintain their youthful appearance or other motivation?
Findings in-depth interviews with 25 women who used replacement therapy bioidentical hormone (BHRT) prescribed by a clinician antiaging bucked the stereotype driven vanity.
instead, Flatt says women told researchers they wanted to relieve their menopausal symptoms, feel energized and avoid chronic diseases associated with aging. The women also described their motivation to want to return to an "optimal" state and believed that bioidentical hormones would do that.
"Hormones became the panacea reported by women," said Flatt. "They felt that if the hormones were in order, they would be back on track."
The anti-aging clinicians prescribed BHRT after women have taken a series of tests to determine the cause of their symptoms of menopause, which allegedly included hormonal deficiencies and vitamins. They were prescribed BHRT, plant-derived hormones, such as soy and yams. Hormone treatments are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and control by mixing pharmacists
Among the reasons women said they found attractive anti-aging medicine were :.
- Patients received over time and attention of the clinician.
- medications were considered "natural" and thought to return to an optimal state of being.
- BHRT was perceived as safer than traditional hormone replacement therapy.
