Choosing a menopause doctor who understands the complexities of hormonal effects throughout the WHOLE BODY is important. Female and Male ‘S*x Hormones’ do not only act in the reproductive system.
- Oestrogen receptors are found in breast tissue, the uterus, the brain, bone, the heart and fat tissue. Post menopause fat cells produce Esterone, a weaker form of Oestrogens.
- Progesterone receptors are located in the uterus, breast and brain.
- Testosterone and androgen receptors are present in muscle, bone, Male prostate & genitalia, Female Cl*toris and V*ginal canal, skin and the brain. Some tissues like the brain, bone and fat actually contain multiple types of these receptors.
This is why perimenopause, menopause and post menopause symptoms can be so non-specific and hugely variable amongst your friends and family.
Hearing your story and taking a snap shot of your blood levels and placing it all into context of your life is integral to individualised care.
