Over the years, no one remembers who was the first to come up with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The German Langerhans, who discovered islets in the pancreas, and our compatriot Sobolev, who established their role in the production of insulin, and the Canadians Banting and Best, who obtained insulin from the bovine pancreas in 1922, also distinguished themselves.

It is probably worth including here also the one who was the first to comprehend the simple truth: it is not the symptoms that need to be treated, but the disease. His name is unknown, but his tactics helped his descendants: since there is not enough hormone, let’s add it, and everything will immediately fall into place. That's what they did.

Equivalent replacement

The first “experimental subjects” on whom hormone replacement therapy was tested were patients with diabetes mellitus. Unfortunately, the results of insulin therapy were far from perfect. Of course: the hormone was extracted from the first available animals, the methods of its purification left much to be desired, and the administration regimens required improvement. Only in the 1960-1980s did things start to improve, and on the wave of this success, all the now known hormone replacement therapy rose - treatment aimed at replacing missing hormones in the body.

Dwarfism began to be treated with somatotropin - growth hormone, hypothyroidism - with hormones, Addison's disease - with cortisol and aldosterone. Of course, the category of conditions that can be corrected by HRT also includes.

Not all women take menopause for granted and find positive aspects in it (like saving on pads and contraceptives). Most people are seriously concerned about the drop in the level of sex hormones (estrogens and progestins), because it is accompanied by mood swings, hot flashes, thinning of the skin, dry mucous membranes of the vulva and vagina, osteoporosis, loss of interest in sexual activity, and neurocirculatory dystonia. In a word, a whole set of unpleasant symptoms.

Hormone replacement therapy was just right for these ladies. By the end of the twentieth century, more than 20 million women in the West were taking hormone medications daily, and for many years they did not want to give them up. So far, inquisitive scientists have not been overcome by doubts: is it really useful to interfere with the hormonal background of the body and give it a dose of the active substance day after day?

Sayechka for fright!

Large-scale studies at that time showed that HRT cures one thing and cripples another. Women who used sex hormones for more than five years really looked great and felt good, but... It turned out that the use of estrogens increases the likelihood of developing breast and endometrial cancer: estrogens stimulate cell division, including cancer cells. Again, hormone replacement therapy then triples the risk of thrombosis and embolism, including pulmonary embolism.

However, the attempt to link HRT with coronary heart disease, hypertension and liver disease failed miserably.

It turned out that all cases of weight gain due to HRT are associated with a late start of treatment, when obesity has already begun, and precisely from a lack of sex hormones. And American doctors, together with the All-Russian Scientific Society of Cardiology, have proven that hormone replacement therapy, on the contrary, improves survival in women with coronary heart disease. The 10-year survival rate for patients who took hormones was 97% versus 60% for those who never took them. If we talk about the risk of cancer, it has been reduced by using combined estrogen-progestogen drugs.

Today to replace the "heavy" hormonal medications low purity levels came the latest low-dose products of biochemical technologies and genetic engineering. However, many doctors still remain in the camp of opponents of HRT. And here's why.

The main thing that is alarming about the rosy prospect of mass propaganda of HRT is the dosage. All hormones are present in the blood in negligible quantities; their balance is extremely individual and can change from day to day. You can, of course, study the daily rhythm of the production of a particular hormone in the body, but how to calculate the required individual dose of hormone replacement therapy?

Let's reveal a little secret. Until now, all hormones are prescribed in average doses. That is, by and large, with each medication taken, patients deal a powerful blow to their tissue receptors, which have to adapt, roughly speaking, not react so actively to the stimulus. It’s not hard to guess how it will all end: their sensitivity to hormonal drugs gradually decreases, and then disappears completely.

Expert commentary
I prescribe hormone replacement therapy to menopausal women, but when my patients hear about hormones, they often refuse to take them. Therefore, I prefer to use homeopathic remedies or dietary supplements, the effects of which have been tested experimentally. By the way, I take them myself.
Regarding true hormone replacement therapy, I can say that in all my many years of practice I have observed only three cases of complications. These were edema and exacerbation of hypertension.
Zubanova I.V., gynecologist

Another disadvantage: the hormone introduced from outside suppresses the work of the gland that normally synthesizes it. The principle of negative feedback. While a foreign hormone circulates in the blood, practically no own hormone is produced - the gland rests, without receiving an order from above (from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland). If the replacement treatment lasts for a long time, she loses her skills altogether, and her abilities do not return when HRT is stopped.

What to do? The answer lies in competent tactics for treating hormone deficiency:

• There is no need to rush to switch to hormonal therapy. Let's remember the basics of endocrinology: first they try to cure thyroid gland insufficiency with iodine preparations, and to stimulate the ovaries with various physical procedures. And only if all these methods are ineffective should one resort to hormones as a last resort.
• If you can do without HRT, then it is better to do without it. For example, during menopause, hormones are prescribed for osteoporosis and severe menopausal disorders if they cause anxiety to the patient. Contraindications to hormone replacement therapy: malignant tumors, liver or kidney failure, acute thromboembolic diseases
• Choose the right medicine. Modern drugs for HRT are divided into herbal hormone-like agents, bioidentical hormones and synthetic analogues of natural hormones. The first ones are good with psychological point vision, because a clear prejudice has formed against hormones, and a rare patient is eager to take them. Synthetic hormones have a quick and powerful effect, but their structure is slightly different from the natural hormones of our body, therefore the production of our own hormones is more actively suppressed. The golden mean is bioidentical hormones.
• Choose optimal way administration of the drug. For gastritis, ulcers and other diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract, it is not recommended to swallow HRT tablets. Instead, you can give injections, glue hormonal patches and throw special quickly dissolving tablets under the tongue.
• Stop in time. You don't have to take hormones your whole life. Practice shows that 2-3 years are enough to relieve menopausal disorders; after stopping the drug, hot flashes and other “delights” of menopause are unlikely to return. Lifelong prescription of hormones is justified only in cases where a woman has had one or both ovaries removed.

HRT against age

Recently, a new direction has appeared in medicine - anti-aging. Having seen enough of the vigorous Western women of Balzac’s age, ours decided not to lag behind and also took up the task of rejuvenating the body.

Expert commentary
Negative attitudes towards hormone replacement therapy are a relic of the past. It remains from the times when endocrinologists, through trial and error, worked out the optimal methods, regimens and dosages for the use of hormonal drugs.
Modern endocrinology has in its arsenal the best drugs and a minimum of side effects, which fully corresponds to the main commandment of the doctor: “Do no harm.” Another 10-15 years will pass, and the use of anti-aging therapy methods will become as natural as taking a shower and brushing your teeth.
As experience shows, not a single person who has set out on the path of comprehensive rejuvenation has given up on their intentions.
Sahakyan Zh.M., Ph.D., Chief Physician of the Institute of Binary Rejuvenation

Oddly enough, the notorious hormone replacement therapy plays an important role in the fight against aging. However, it has a very distant resemblance to classical HRT.

Here the doctor’s task is to help the patient restore hormonal balance, and with it strength, good appearance and, of course, well-being. Therefore, hormone doses are minimal. They do not treat, but stabilize hormonal levels, bringing their numbers to the upper limit of the corresponding age norm. Doses are not taken out of thin air, but are calculated individually, based on the results of a comprehensive examination of the patient.

The optimal time to prescribe anti-aging therapy is 5 years before the onset of menopause. It is used at the request of the patients, and it can last as long as desired.

However, the first signs of aging are fought not only with hormones. An important role is played by lifestyle, proper nutrition with individually selected vitamin therapy, physical exercise and, of course, giving up bad habits.

By the way, if you are thinking about how to preserve youth from a young age, do not neglect general recommendations for improving your health, and you may not need any hormone therapy.

Discussion

In general, I'm not particularly supportive of HRT. I know for sure that you can get rid of symptoms with the help of dietary supplements, but when it comes to unpleasant sensations in the vagina, then you need to act immediately and take suppositories with estriol.

HRT to maintain youth is, of course, a great breakthrough in modern medicine, but the pleasure is not cheap and there are risks to health, and quite a lot. there are much safer and less expensive methods of restoring health and beauty after 40 - taking phytoestrogens to normalize hormonal levels (Qi-Clim, for example)

Hello, a friend of mine was treated for infertility at the Altravita clinic and was prescribed hormonal drugs to stimulate ovulation. She got pregnant and gave birth - that's a plus! But there are questions about how hormones can affect her health in the future?

When I began to understand that the onset of this period was close, I began to feel depressed. A year later, I already felt the first signs (I’m 42 now). I have heard a lot about all sorts of manifestations of menopause - pressure, hot flashes, mood, etc. A work colleague shared everything. She also advised me on a drug that she used herself - Menopace. She is more experienced in this matter than me - she decided to try it. But I said that I would not take the hormonal drug. She assured me that it consists of a vitamin-mineral complex. And she was right. Now this period is in full swing for me, but there was no particular discomfort due to the drug. I'm saving myself by menopace

Little by little, nature took over me. I already feel some symptoms of menopause. I found salvation for myself and take Menopace - it is not a hormonal drug and you can start drinking it regardless of your cycle. I had little faith in him, but it really helps. Not quickly, but the hot flashes went away after about 3 weeks of use and my mood appeared and my strength increased, but this is not a hormonal drug. I really like it, only they can tell me and I’m saved. I’ve read all sorts of things - I don’t want to take hormonal medications, at least until the doctor prescribes them.

Hello! Help me decide, 3.5 years ago the uterus (fibroids) was removed, menopause symptoms began 1.5 years ago (hot flashes, weakness, dry skin, hair loss) Estrogel was prescribed 1.5 g per day. I've been using it for about 1 year. Please tell me, is it possible in my case to get by with phytohormones, or am I at risk at my age (I’m 41 years old) of getting a bunch of health problems due to the lack of estrogens, and should I take them for some more time? Thank you.

What is absolutely true about hormone replacement therapy! It is she who will help us women get through this difficult period easier. A good medicine will relieve all the symptoms of menopause and ensure the prevention of its severe consequences. I have been taking the German drug “Angelique” for two years now. I feel great. Although I was terribly afraid of hormones... All fears are due to lack of information. It is very important to find a good doctor who will conduct an examination and select exactly what you need.

We live in Slovenia, and 50 meters from the very factory where Donat is bottled :-)))))) My son (3 years and 3 months) has irregular bowel movements, the doctor gave us a memo that says, what food and drink should be given, including Donut, from which all the bubbles must first be released (we leave the lid ajar for a day, shake it from time to time, or, if there is no time to wait, heat it up, stirring). It is recommended to give in the morning on an empty stomach. But we have this problem: there is NO WAY in the world that our son will poop in kindergarten, no matter how much he feels like it, he will endure it like a partisan :-(, well, a traffic jam will form :-(. In general, in the morning I don’t donate to him I give it so as not to torture in vain, and we try to speed up the “pokaki” by the second half of the day. And also, the daily norm of Donat should not exceed 1 deciliter, it is very rich in salts, and it tastes salty.

IN medical practice Doctors often have to resort to hormone replacement therapy. There are many reasons for this: hypothyroidism, cancer, dwarfism, menopause, infertility, etc. Treatment with hormones imposes a certain responsibility on the doctor, because it is necessary to calculate all the consequences of their additional introduction into the body. Some people start taking hormonal medications on their own for prevention purposes. unwanted pregnancy or for weight loss. Therefore, many people are concerned about the question of whether it is possible to take hormones, what harm or benefit they can bring to the body?

Features of taking hormones

First of all, it should be noted that these unique substances control almost all biological processes occurring in our body. The work of internal organs and the endocrine system, which is responsible for the production of hormones, is closely interconnected. This mechanism is fine-tuned by nature itself, so you need to interfere with it very carefully. The main problem, which often leads to complications and unexpected hormonal imbalance: incorrect calculation of the dosage of medications taken. In the human body, the level of hormones is not constant; it fluctuates periodically depending on the time of day, emotional state and many other factors. It is extremely important to take into account the individual characteristics of each person, but such control is rarely carried out. Prescribing the wrong dose of hormones most often leads to negative consequences. However, there are situations when hormonal therapy is necessary: ​​in case of deficiency of any biologically active substance in the body, the presence of a cancerous tumor, to restore the reproductive function of men and women, autoimmune diseases, menopausal syndrome.

Hormonal contraceptives

Many women use hormonal birth control pills to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies. Of course, this is very convenient, because when taking them you do not need to resort to other means of contraception: intrauterine devices, contraceptive suppositories, lubricants, creams, caps, etc. In addition to the contraceptive effect, hormonal pills have a number of positive qualities: they normalize the menstrual cycle, reduce the likelihood of infertility, prevent ectopic pregnancy, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. But not everything is so rosy. Long-term use of oral contraceptives can also cause hormonal imbalance, disrupt fat metabolism in the body, and increase body weight. In addition, such preservatives contribute to blood thickening and slow blood flow, increasing the risk of thrombosis. There are known cases of the negative impact of birth control pills on liver function. It all depends on the individual characteristics of each woman’s body.

Hormones for weight loss

Some people believe that taking hormonal drugs helps get rid of excess weight. Many people go on strict diets, exhaust themselves in the gym, but cannot get rid of excess fat deposits. The main reason for this phenomenon lies in metabolic disorders, and thyroid hormones are primarily responsible for metabolic processes. Indeed, by accelerating metabolism, a person who starts taking medications containing thyroid hormones can lose weight. But it is strictly forbidden to do this yourself. The decision must be made by the attending physician, who must determine which hormone deficiency causes a slowdown in metabolism. Otherwise, the problem of excess weight can only get worse.

Hormones during pregnancy

Prescribing hormonal medications during pregnancy is already a recognized necessity. They are usually prescribed to expectant mothers if there is insufficient production of the hormone progesterone, which stimulates the growth of the endometrium of the uterus and ensures the preservation and normal course of pregnancy. Due to a deficiency of this hormone, the conditions for fetal development are disrupted, which can result in a miscarriage. Sometimes taking hormonal drugs such as Duphaston or Utrozhestan causes dizziness and drowsiness, but usually this occurs with an overdose of drugs. The main thing is to achieve the main goal of such hormonal therapy - preventing miscarriage.

Thus, in search of an answer to the question of whether it is possible to take hormones, you should think a thousand times about the advisability of taking them, so as not to harm your health. Take care of yourself!

Everyone knows how alcohol affects the human body. Even in small quantities it is very harmful to the body. And if a person drinks alcohol with various medications with which he is not compatible, the body’s reaction can be unpredictable.

In combination with hormones, alcoholic drinks can cause very serious complications, so you should avoid drinking alcohol while taking hormonal medications. Any doctor will answer the question of whether it is possible to drink alcohol during treatment with hormonal agents in the negative. In addition, it is necessary to refrain from excessive drinking not only during the period when a person is taking hormonal medications, but also in everyday life.

The effect of alcohol on human hormonal levels

Numerous studies have established the harmful effects of alcohol on human hormones. First of all, it inhibits the production of such an important hormone for any man as testosterone, which, among other things, is responsible for the growth of muscle mass. Under the influence of alcohol, testosterone loses its functions and after some time muscle tissue begins to degrade.

When alcohol enters a person’s blood, active production of the so-called alcohol begins. stress hormones. They cause anxiety, anxiety, fear and depression. At the same time, ethanol is absorbed into the blood almost instantly, so that alcohol begins to harm the body immediately after consumption. Such interaction has a detrimental effect on the nervous system, so the negative effect of alcohol on hormones cannot be underestimated.

The interaction of hormones with alcohol has a number of side effects for the entire male body, especially if a person likes to drink beer often. It is not for nothing that it is called the most “humiliating” alcoholic drink. In addition to ethyl alcohol, it contains hops. The hormone progesterone enters the body of men who drink beer. It is very similar to estrogens - the main hormones of women.

If you drink beer often, then after a while the female hormones in the body will begin to prevail over the natural male hormones. Increased estrogen in the male body leads to many problems. Hormones that are normal for any woman cause hormonal imbalance in the male body. And the man begins to gradually “transform” into a woman. Among the main problems that increased estrogen leads to among those who drink beer and other alcoholic beverages are:

Thus, when alcohol enters a man’s blood, it causes severe harm to the entire man’s body and his hormonal levels in particular.

The harmful effects of alcoholic beverages on a woman’s body cannot be underestimated. If alcohol regularly gets into a woman’s blood, this will also lead to hormonal imbalance - male hormones will begin to prevail over female estrogens. Because of this, the girl’s hair begins to grow male type, she will lose her natural beauty and femininity. The function of the gonads decreases, which is why a woman loses her desire for sex. Male hormones accumulate in the blood, which leads to the following problems:

• libido decreases;
• increased hairiness is noted;
• the voice begins to become rough;
• the figure changes according to the male type;
• rapidly gaining weight;
• There are a lot of problems with the mammary and thyroid glands.

Compatibility of hormonal drugs with alcoholic beverages

As a rule, hormonal medications are prescribed for the treatment of various diseases. Women often take them as birth control. Treatment with hormonal pills usually lasts quite a long time, and birth control pills are taken regularly. And every person who has been prescribed hormonal medications will at some point have a question: is it possible to combine these pills with alcoholic beverages? After all, even if a person is not an alcoholic, sometimes in his life there are still reasons to drink.

First of all, you need to remember that it is not recommended to combine alcohol with any pills, not just hormonal ones. Taking medications at the same time with alcohol can have unpredictable consequences.

What happens if you take hormonal pills with alcohol?

While taking hormonal medications, you should refrain from drinking any alcoholic beverages and in any quantity. If you take hormonal pills at the same time as alcohol, the endocrine system will be disrupted. Simultaneous intake of hormones with various alcoholic products will lead to the fact that the gonads and adrenal glands begin to work more intensively. Because of this, the level of hormones such as aldosterone, adrenaline and cortisone will increase in the body. Their overdose will lead to a number of side effects.

Another scenario is also possible. For example, when mixed with alcohol, some hormonal drugs may not show their therapeutic effect. This is a relatively safe situation, but there is definitely no need to take risks.

In severe situations, mixing hormonal drugs with alcohol can lead to exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease, the appearance of seizures, severe headaches, and the development of thrombophlebitis.

Thus, violating medical orders can have many different consequences. It is impossible to predict the reaction of a particular organism.

The instructions for each drug indicate that it is undesirable or even strictly prohibited to take it together with alcohol. Possible side effects are also noted there.

It is important to remember that when treating with hormonal drugs there are no such concepts as “light” alcohol and “permissible dosage”. Any amount of any alcohol can cause side effects.

Compatibility of alcohol with androgens and antiandrogens

Androgens include steroid hormones produced by the gonads and adrenal glands. These hormones are responsible for the formation and normal development of secondary sexual characteristics; they have an anabolic effect on the human body, increase the synthesis and slow down the catabolism of proteins. Androgens take part in glucose metabolism and absorption, processes of phosphorus and nitrogen metabolism. In medicine, androgens are prescribed for the treatment of various disorders of the endocrine and reproductive systems in men. They are also used in the treatment of certain tumors.

Antiandrogens are part of antitumor drugs, in particular, they are used in the treatment of malignant neoplasms of the prostate gland. This group includes various drugs. The main active ingredients of each of them are bicalutamide and testosterone.

Testosterone is the main male sex hormone, androgen. Prescribed for:

Can also be prescribed to women if they have:

• breast cancer;
• uterine fibroids;
• osteoporosis;
• menopause.

Bicalutamide is an andandrogen. Used primarily in the treatment of prostate cancer. When taking bicalutamide, you should refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages.

The combined use of bicalutamide, testosterone and other androgens and antiandrogens can lead to an increase in the concentration of estrogen, which will negatively affect the condition of the male body. Therefore, bicalutamide, testosterone and other hormones from the groups considered are incompatible with alcohol.

Hormones of the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, gonadotropins and their antagonists

The hypothalamic-pituitary axis is the basis for many functions of the human endocrine system. The most commonly used pituitary hormones in medicine are:

Such drugs are prescribed for hormone deficiency, if stimulating therapy is necessary for insufficient development of the glands and their low function.

Antigonadotropins are used in cases where it is necessary to suppress the production of the corresponding hormones. They are used in the treatment of gynecomastia, fibrocystic mastopathy, endometriosis and other diseases.

Alcoholic drinks have a direct effect on the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary system of the human body, which leads to temporary, and with regular consumption of alcohol, chronic disruption of regulatory function. Against this background, various dysfunctions of the nervous system and a number of internal organs develop.

Under the influence of alcohol, the production of many hormones is suppressed. Considering the fact that other mediators influence the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, when they are additionally suppressed by alcohol, the synthesis of hormones of the hypothalamic-pituitary system is inhibited.

Interaction of alcohol with thyroid hormones

The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are triiodothyronine and thyroxine. They have different effects on the body: catabolic and anabolic (in accordance with the established dosage), metabolic, stimulating, etc.

Among the main drugs in this group are Liothyronine, Calcitonin, etc. Taking any drugs can only be started as prescribed by a doctor, self-medication is contraindicated, and any names are given for informational purposes only.

Among the main indications for treatment using this drug are:

• lack of iodine in the body;
• suppression of excessive thyroid-stimulating activity;
• decreased thyroid function, etc.

Antithyroid drugs are antagonists, i.e. they inhibit the production of thyroid hormones. Prescribed for the treatment of diseases that appear against the background of hyperfunction of the thyroid gland. Such drugs include Preotact, Propylthiouracil, etc. The group of such drugs also includes Calcitonin, a hypocalcemic hormone.

Drinking alcoholic beverages for diseases of the thyroid gland can lead to a rapid deterioration in health, suppression of hormone production against the background of the suppressive effect of ethanol breakdown products on thyrocytes. Due to the fact that the dosage of hormonal drugs is selected strictly on an individual basis, based on laboratory results, drinking alcohol requires an immediate dose change, which is almost impossible. At best, this will reduce the effect of treatment; at worst, the consequences can be unpredictable and very serious. Therefore, you should abstain from alcoholic drinks.

Alcoholic drinks and insulins

Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the pancreas. There are practically no systems or internal organs in the human body that are not exposed to insulin. It affects the processes of protein, carbon and fat metabolism, controls phosphorylation processes, and takes part in the functioning of enzyme systems.

Insulin production is very related to glucose levels. When it increases, insulin production increases; when it decreases, it decreases. Insulins of different durations of action are used in medicine.

Drinking alcohol during insulin therapy is strictly prohibited: against the background of regular consumption, hypoglycemia develops, which, if worsened, can cause a person to fall into a coma.

Alcoholic drinks and corticosteroids

The group of corticosteroids includes steroid hormones, divided into mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. These hormones are produced by the adrenal cortex. They have a similar structure and are very important for the normal functioning of the body. Steroids that take part in carbohydrate metabolism are known as glucocorticoids. Those that affect water-salt metabolism are called mineralocorticoids.

Glucocorticoids should not be taken together with alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will increase the activity of the drug, causing side effects. When used together, the likelihood of developing bleeding and ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract increases almost 1.5 times.

Drinking alcohol during treatment using mineralocorticoids is prohibited due to the powerful negative impact of corticosteroids in general and mineralosteroids in particular on the homeostasis system. Risk appears sharp increase blood pressure to critical values, depression of the central nervous system, etc. Under the influence of alcohol, endogenous aldosterone is released, which significantly worsens the patient's condition.

Combined intake of alcohol with estrogens and gestagens

The class of estrogens includes steroid hormones produced in the female body by the adrenal glands and follicular apparatus and in insignificant concentrations (in the absence of deviations) by the adrenal glands and ovaries in the male body. This class includes the hormones estriol, estradiol and estrone. They provide menstrual and reproductive functions, maintain the normal state of the skeletal system. They are used in the treatment of ovarian diseases, infertility, age-related disorders, in complex therapy of atherosclerosis and for problems with pregnancy in women.

Thanks to progestins and gestagens, the onset and normal course of pregnancy becomes possible. These hormones inhibit the production of gonadotropic, luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormones.

In medicine, gestagens are used to eliminate uterine bleeding, certain menstrual dysfunction, and treat ovarian dysfunction. In combination, gestagens and estrogens are often used to treat cancer and age-related disorders. In certain dosages they are used as contraceptives.

When treating with estrogen, drinking alcohol is prohibited. Even smaller doses of alcoholic beverages, and even more so regular intake of large volumes of alcohol, contribute to an increase in the concentration of estrogen in the human body. A rare, episodic increase in their concentration is utilized by the liver without noticeable consequences for health.

However, with a constant alcohol load, the liver stops coping with estrogens, which is why the corresponding symptoms appear. If estrogens are additionally introduced into the body with hormonal drugs, the side effects will be even more severe due to an overdose. Serious liver disease may develop.

There is practically no negative interaction between gestagens and alcohol. However, if we take into account the fact that these kinds of drugs are mainly used for successful conception and maintenance of pregnancy, in the treatment of cancer and other serious diseases, alcohol should not be consumed, at least for medical reasons.

Thus, alcoholic drinks and hormonal drugs are incompatible things. The attending physician will definitely tell you about this. Follow his recommendations and be healthy!

Isn't this a scam? Why do they sell on the Internet?

Yulek26 (Tver) 10 days ago

Sonya, what country do you live in? They sell it on the Internet because stores and pharmacies charge outrageous markups.

If you suspect a hormone deficiency, make an appointment with a gynecologist, or an endocrinologist. Tell your doctor about your problem and ask for a referral to get tested for sex hormone levels. Until the results are received, the doctor will not be able to give any prescriptions. Do not self-medicate; excess estrogen can cause tumors to appear, which often develop into malignant ones. You should also not increase your estrogen levels if you have breast or ovarian cysts.

Thus, as the menstrual cycle progresses, the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone in a woman’s body changes. So, during its first phase, which lasts from 13 to 15 days and is called follicular, the amount of the hormone gradually increases, normally amounting to 2.8–11.3 mU/l. Its quantity reaches its peak at the time of the ovulatory phase, when the follicle ruptures and the egg is released. During this period, which lasts only a few days, the amount of FSH is usually 5.8–21 mU/l. Then, if fertilization does not occur, the level of the hormone in the body gradually decreases: in this phase of the cycle, which is usually called the luteal phase, the amount of FSH is usually 1.2–9 mU/l.

The role of FSH in the male body

Despite the fact that FSH plays such an important role in a woman’s body, it cannot be called a specific female hormone, since it is also found in men. Moreover, their amount of follicle-stimulating hormone is usually not subject to such significant changes over a short period of time as in women, but is relatively constant. The normal level of FSH in a man’s body is 1.37–13.58 mU/l.

The main purpose of FSH in the male body is also associated with the normal functioning of the reproductive sphere. Thus, the presence of a sufficient level of FSH ensures the effective production of seminal fluid, that is, sperm. In addition, it is “responsible” for the growth of the testes and seminiferous tubules, thereby contributing not only to the creation, but also to the transportation of the fluid necessary for the process of conception.

An ultrasound is performed and a diagnosis is made. This happened to me twice at nineteen and at twenty-four. The physiological effects of gestagens are combined into three main groups. After the withdrawal I almost lost my life: panic attacks, anxiety, weight loss up to 42 kg at the age of 30. Suddenly, one fine day about a year ago, I felt that I needed to stop taking pills.

2. The nominal background has not recovered. I just pray and dream of returning that day... I really want to live. I can’t sleep because when I change my body position from vertical to horizontal, my heart works with great disturbances. Over the period from twenty-four to twenty-eight years old, my body has probably changed a lot, and I don’t even know what I really am. And I decided to quit. At first I was covered in small pimples and I began to look like a teenage girl.

Dear women, once you start taking pills and feel the side effects, you don’t need to quit right away, wait 3 months, your body will get used to it, or finish the pack to the end; if you quit halfway through, you will cause yourself more harm. The first week flew by.

A gynecologist talks about the consequences and complications after using hormonal contraception (video on the topic)

- my skin has deteriorated greatly, it stopped constantly drying out, as it was all the years of the pill, but it began to periodically become irritated and covered with pimples; - I began to have a harder time with my periods; - my character has improved greatly and everyone noticed this; - I began to find relationships a bunch of more important and creative things to do than immediately build everyone; - I always know when I’m ovulating; - olfactory hallucinations continue, in the last month they have been supplemented by taste ones, it’s even funny. Read to get acquainted God bless you!

Hello. 11 years ago I was prescribed Diane-35. The doctor said that this is an adaptation of the body and will pass. Slava, hello! I read your comment and realized that exactly the same thing happened to me, how did you do? How did you overcome this? I don’t recognize myself, they stage attacks, but I understand that from Diana 35 exactly the same thing happened. How are you? Slava, do you know how contraceptives work? Can you imagine what happens in the body when you take them? Do you know anyone who has been taking contraceptives for a long time and has maintained their health into old age? I’m almost sure that you don’t have the answers, unfortunately, and then you’re right no too talk about that. Contraceptives without estrogen

There are gestagen-containing contraceptive drugs (“mini-pills”). From my personal experience, after 2 packs of Yarina, the veins in my legs became significantly larger and spider veins appeared. At the age of 15, I was diagnosed with diffuse fibrocystic mostopathy. By the way, a hormone test before using Ok is not necessary, because hormone levels change even when you are worried or happy. And I'm already tired of being sick. If you go to the doctor complaining that your lower abdomen hurts while taking birth control, he will most likely prescribe other medications. They say that I screwed myself up, that I’m crazy. This means that you need to take stronger hormonal pills.

The doctors' attitude was similar. I thought it was a very good drug. The consequences of taking it were very severe, I had to quit my job and live in this hell for almost a year. Thank God, the psychotherapist saved me by prescribing the antidepressant venlaxor.

Saw (Yarina, Regulon, Marvelon, Belara, Diane-35). Other side effects, such as: decreased mood, mood swings, increased appetite, nausea, stool disorders, satiety, swelling and tenderness of the mammary glands and some others - although not severe, however, affect a woman’s quality of life. Only three drugs have a clear antiandrogenic effect. There was a severe migraine, dizziness, nausea, difficulty, frequent, painful urination, burning and shooting pain in the perineum, cramps in the stomach and intestines, severe constipation, diarrhea, severe pain in the heart, tachycardia, fever, constant pain in the lower abdomen, pain in the legs , tearfulness, pain in the lower back and on both sides, pain and difficulty urinating after sexual intercourse. I read your review, you write about taking a product that helps normalize hormonal levels.

The veins began to hurt and bulge. It all started with panic attacks, numbness in the limbs, various pains in the body... No one believed me. It feels like you’ll switch off now and what will happen later will be unknown. Thromboembolism is the blockage of a blood vessel by a thrombus. It was a completely irrational feeling. My blood pressure has been low all my life - it started to fluctuate, not too much yet, but this is enough for me to start getting headaches. But I understand that I can’t live like that.

You just need to choose it for yourself. Anyone who has experienced this will understand me. that living like this is simply not living. This is how it turned out after a trip to the doctor. OK it's like a lottery, really. But taking it ok and after, even with the time of pregnancy and childbirth, gave this result. For me, for example, other methods are not so reliable, and the consequences, you understand. With hormonal pills, I am relatively calm about the unexpected. The first time was 3 months and nothing, I was probably lucky, but the second time was 2 months in total, now I haven’t been drinking anything for the 3rd month, as doctors say it’s hormonal withdrawal syndrome. If even after changing contraceptives the pain does not stop, but on the contrary, becomes sharp, cutting, and the body temperature rises, you should stop using these drugs. Think when you publicly express your opinion.

Avoidance of oral contraceptives in these women may reduce the incidence of arterial thrombosis reported in recent studies from industrialized countries. After scolding my parents, they finally took me, did an ECG and injected me with a sedative, and everyone said it wasn’t for us. They prescribed treatment, I was treated in neurology, antipsychotics, antidepressants, I still take them periodically. Holding my breath, I waited for PMS.

Arterial hypertension. One side effect. evening temperature 37. Two years later, she and her husband decided to increase their family; they already have one child.

Thromboembolism cannot occur out of the blue; it requires special “conditions”: risk factors or existing vascular diseases. The moral of the story is: don't take hormonal drugs. Others may conceive within a few months of stopping birth control, but not before three months. And this, in turn, affects the hormonal background of the body and directly affects female discharge. The doctor will examine the condition of the mammary glands and genital organs; if necessary, the specialist will also suggest additional tests. Pure progesterone preparations are safe with respect to the risk of venous thromboembolism. Because contraceptives lead to a deficiency of a number of vitamins in the body. This is normal, but only if it does not happen frequently. And all these reactions are the body’s reaction to stress after withdrawal.
