Dr. Casperson emphasizes the need for individualized hormone therapy and the importance of finding a healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about hormones. She also provides insights on topics like perimenopause, birth control, lubricants, and the use of hormones in breast cancer survivors.
Takeaways
Testosterone levels can be measured in different units, and it's important to understand the conversion between them.
DHEA is a precursor hormone that can convert into both testosterone and estrogen, but it may not be as effective as prescription hormone replacement therapy.
Prescription-grade hormones are standardized and considered safe, while oral supplements may not be as reliable.
Estrone, a less common estrogen, may contribute to inflammation and is produced by adipose tissue.
Consent in sexual relationships should be enthusiastic and ongoing, and individuals have the right to say no at any time.
Perimenopause is a natural stage of life, and symptoms can be managed with hormone therapy and lifestyle changes.
Research on women's health, especially in older women, is lacking and needs to be advocated for.
Hormone therapy can be beneficial for breast cancer survivors, but it should be approached with caution and under the guidance of an expert.
There are various options for managing sexual dysfunction caused by SSRI medications, including changing the medication, adding other medications, or trying hormone therapy.
Silicone-based lubricants are recommended for their long-lasting and non-irritating properties.
Individuals should advocate for their own health and seek out healthcare providers who are knowledgeable and caring.
Hormone therapy can have positive effects on pain management, including peripheral neuropathy.
