Before when I was still young, I thought my parents will be the same person as they are. However, as I reached the age of adulthood, I soon realized that they are getting old. My mom now manifest the signs of menopause which made me realize that I have to prepare myself.

I can’t just sit and relax and do nothing. I am concerned about their fitness and health. All I know that in this stage of a person’s life hormones are imbalanced. That is why my mom now is complaining about the changes she is experiencing such as hot flashes, memory loss and so on. I advised her to consult a physician so she will know what to do. The physician told her to undergo hormone therapy to do away with the symptoms.

I do some research regarding bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and the benefits it will do to my mom. It is also called custom-compounded hormone products. The therapy is unique from the other since it is based on the hormone deficiencies of the individual patient.

My mom is prepared to undergo such therapy, but I am not pretty sure with my dad’s since he is afraid with it. If he doesn’t undergo he will continually suffer the symptoms of andropause. I think mom can just explain it to him afterward.
