New Estrogen Therapy for Menopause
Overview
For many women experiencing menopause, symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats can make life feel like a never-ending summer. Thankfully, new treatments are offering hope and relief.
Understanding Menopause
Menopause marks a natural transition in a woman’s life when her ovaries stop producing estrogen. This change can result from natural aging or be induced by medical treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. The decrease in estrogen can lead to troublesome symptoms known as vasomotor symptoms?"primarily hot flashes and night sweats.
As Janet Sussman, a real estate agent from New Albany, Ohio, shared, "I anticipated experiencing 'the change,' but didn't realize how intense the symptoms would be. Hot flashes struck unpredictably at work, and night sweats disrupted my sleep. I consulted my doctor to explore my options."
Causes of Menopause
While most women undergo natural menopause, some experience "induced" menopause due to medical interventions such as hysterectomy, chemotherapy, or radiation. A hysterectomy, which involves the removal of the uterus, can induce menopause if both ovaries are also removed. This sudden transition can intensify hot flashes, impacting daily life significantly.
Introducing a New Solution
There is promising news for the 52 million women approaching menopause. The FDA has approved a new oral estrogen therapy called ENJUVIA™ (synthetic conjugated estrogens, B). This plant-based treatment uses a unique delivery system for the gradual release of estrogen into the bloodstream, effectively addressing moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms.
Medical experts, including Dr. David Portman, founder of the Columbus Center for Women's Health Research, emphasize the importance of advanced technologies to offer relief at lower doses. "With millions of women entering menopause annually and one-third experiencing hysterectomy by age 60, there's a pressing need for safe, effective treatments," he explains.
Important Considerations
When using estrogen therapies like ENJUVIA, it’s crucial to be aware of potential risks and benefits. The FDA and organizations like the North American Menopause Society advise using hormones at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary. Possible risks include myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary embolism, and deep vein thrombosis.
Health Risks and Monitoring:
- Estrogens may heighten the risk of uterine cancer. Any unusual vaginal bleeding should be reported to a doctor immediately.
- Estrogens should not be used to prevent heart disease, strokes, or dementia.
- Potential risks of heart attack, stroke, or blood clots are associated with estrogen use. The combination with progestins may increase dementia risk.
- Regular consultations with your physician are essential to reassess the need for ongoing treatment.
Possible Side Effects:
Common side effects of ENJUVIA include headaches, breast pain, irregular bleeding, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, and hair loss.
Contraindications:
ENJUVIA is not suitable for individuals who:
- Are or may become pregnant
- Experience unusual vaginal bleeding
- Have a history of certain cancers, blood clots, or liver issues
- Have had a recent stroke or heart attack
- Are allergic to ENJUVIA or its components
This new therapy offers hope but requires careful consideration and close communication with healthcare providers. By staying informed, women can confidently navigate their options and manage menopause effectively.
