Evorel can be described as a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It can be used to treat symptoms associated with menopause. Evorel, unlike other HRT treatments that require daily tablets, gradually releases hormones into your body. This treatment is suitable for those who have trouble swallowing tablets or remembering to take one every day. Evorel patches only need to be changed twice a week. Estradiol is the active ingredient. It mimics the female sex hormone, oestrogen. Evorel is available in four strengths: 25mcg-50mcg 75mcg and 100mcg. The production of oestrogen gradually ceases in women's ovaries during menopause. The deficiency may cause a variety of symptoms including hot flushes and depression, sleep problems, dryness, osteoporosis, sleep problems, depression, and sleep problems. Evorel may be prescribed to treat severe symptoms. Evorel should not be used to treat osteoporosis, unless other treatments have been tried. Oestrogen will only be needed to replace oestrogen if you have had a Hysterectomy (an operation to remove your uterus). You will be given a progestogen medication along with Evorel if your uterus has not been removed. Because oestrogen alone can cause excessive growth of the lining (endometrium) of the uterus. This can significantly increase your chance of developing complications like endometrial carcinoma. You may be referred to another medication that provides HRT and combined HRT if you have not had your hysterectomy. The menopause is a natural part of life for all women. It usually happens between 45 and 55 years of age. Your ovaries produce less oestrogen as you get older. Although this can stop your menstrual cycle from occurring, the changes in hormone levels can cause a variety of symptoms that could have an impact on your day-to-day activities. Hot flushes, which is a sudden heat that spreads throughout your body, can cause blushing, sweating, and an unusually fast heartbeat. Night sweats, dry eyes, and vaginal dryness are some of the physical symptoms. Psychologically, the hormonal shift can cause distressing effects like irritability and insomnia. The individual's experience with menopause symptoms will vary. These symptoms can occur up to a decade before menopause, but they may continue for years. Symptoms will typically last for around four years in women. Evorel can provide relief from symptoms associated with menopause within just a few weeks. Evorel may cause you to experience bleeding and spotting as your body adjusts. If this persists after a few months of treatment, talk to your GP. HRT should be used as a short-term treatment while your body adjusts to menopause. Your GP should check your HRT at least once a year, and you should have regular gynecological checks. Women who are otherwise fertile will not be prevented from having a baby by HRT. Women over 50 years old are considered fertile for two years, while women over 50 have a one-year grace period. HRT is not recommended for women under 50.
