At 23MD, with clinics in both Dubai and London, we understand how menopause can significantly impact a woman’s health, particularly cardiovascular health. As estrogen levels decline, cholesterol levels often rise, increasing the risk of heart disease. Studies show that after menopause, LDL (bad) cholesterol can rise by 10-15%, contributing to a higher risk of cardiovascular issues. Bioidentical HRT and cardiovascular health during menopause are closely linked, and at 23MD, we specialize in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help regulate cholesterol levels and protect our patients’ cardiovascular health.

The Impact of Menopause/Andropause on Cardiovascular Health: Insights from 23MD in Dubai and London

Menopause and andropasue can  trigger significant changes in a our bodies, especially in terms of cholesterol levels. Without hormone replacement therapy, LDL cholesterol levels can increase by 10-16 mg/dL, and HDL (good) cholesterol may decrease, raising the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. At 23MD clinics in both Dubai and London, we recognise that the connection between Bioidentical HRT and cardiovascular health during menopause and andropause  is critical. Our specialists offer BHRT to mitigate these risks by improving lipid profiles and supporting overall heart health.

Bioidentical HRT and Cardiovascular Health: How It Helps at 23MD

At 23MD, we focus on protecting your future health as well as relieving symptoms during menopause/andropause.  Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are chemically identical to natural hormones. This helps reduce the risks associated with traditional forms of HRT including breast cancer, clots, strokes and hypertension. We have seen firsthand how BHRT at our clinics in Dubai and London can make a significant difference in protecting heart health during menopause/andropause.

If you’re concerned about your cardiovascular health during menopause, or andropause, 23MD clinics in Dubai and London are here to help. Our experienced team can guide you through your options with bioidentical HRT to ensure better long-term health outcomes.
