A 52-year-old woman presents with amenorrhea for one year and moderate hot flashes for 6
months. She is interested in bioidentical hormone relief for her hot flashes and wants to know
if they are better for her than other hormones. Appropriate info to provide would be, what? -
answers✔✔17 beta-estradiol is a bioidentical form of estrogen available in oral, transdermal,
and vaginal formulations
Bioidentical hormones are artificial hormones that are used to treat people with hormonal
imbalances. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can help relieve symptoms
of hormonal imbalances and menopause.
Which of the following statements concerning the estrogen agonist/antagonist raloxifine
(Evista) is correct? - answers✔✔It is approved for the prevention and treatment of
osteoporosis.
Raloxifene is in a class of medications called selective estrogen receptor modulators
(SERMs). Raloxifene prevents and treats osteoporosis by mimicking the effects of estrogen
(a female hormone produced by the body) to increase the density (thickness) of bone.
Estrogen-mediated inhibition of bone resorption is a key player in normal bone remodeling.
T/F? Data supports the use of topically applied progesterone creams for endometrial
protection in menopausal women taking estrogen. - answers✔✔FALSE
The statement is false; current data does not support the use of topically applied progesterone
creams as the sole method for endometrial protection in menopausal women taking estrogen,
as the absorption through the skin is limited and does not reach sufficient blood levels to
adequately protect the endometrium.
It is good to know that Progesterone plays a crucial role in endometrial protection by
counteracting the proliferative effects of estrogen, essentially preventing the uterine lining
from growing too thick and reducing the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer,
especially when administered alongside estrogen therapy in postmenopausal women with an
intact uterus; this means that adequate progesterone levels are necessary to maintain a healthy
endometrium.

allergies. Oil-based lubricants can damage latex condoms.
