Female Hormone Replacement Therapy Treatment by Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD

Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD is the winner of the Thomas A. Clarkson award for many outstanding contributions to menopause related clinical or basic science research. He is one of the nation’s top doctors in Gynecology and a Certified Menopause Practitioner as well as the co-author of the book “The Estrogen Alternative”.

With over 25 years of experience as a top Gynecologist, Dr. Goldstein has successfully used Female Hormone Replacement Therapy to treat menopausal women or women suffering from perimenopause or other conditions arising from a lack of female hormones. In his book, “The Estrogen Alternative”, Dr. Goldstein was the first to outline the options and benefits to women interested in synthetic hormones - Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) for Female Hormone Replacement Therapy.

When a woman’s body stops producing Estrogen and Progesterone naturally, symptoms such as sleep disturbances, free floating anxiety, foggy memory, mood swings, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and night sweats can arise. The production of estrogen and Progesterone can decrease or cease entirely due to age, menopause or other factors.

Female Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) uses prescription drugs. These can come in the form of pills, patches or creams to replace this estrogen synthetically. Once the estrogen is replaced, the overall health of menopausal women improves, especially by helping to prevent heart disease, high cholesterol, and improving the condition of the bones.
