Perhaps more today than ever before, women are having an especially difficult time finding credible information about how to treat symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Social media has certainly exacerbated the situation, but so have some in the medical and pharmaceutical communities that have a financial stake in steering women towards synthetic and mass-produced treatments.
Dr. Angela DeRosa, in an episode of the Women Worldwide podcast, discusses the importance of women gaining access to information about treatments that can better serve them, especially the use of compounded hormone therapies. Such a treatment, she says, can help alleviate many menopausal symptoms, including sleeplessness, irritability, and reduced executive function, and even protect against related cardiovascular ailments.
When it comes to healthcare, Dr. DeRosa makes a compelling case for women to be their own best advocates. She says for women to ask questions based on what they’re feeling and to, above all, trust themselves.
Hear their stories, in their own words. Protect their access to compounded hormones.
On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded hormones to the lives of millions of women in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for the big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!
We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
Preserve compounded hormones.
