Estrogen and Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease affecting your brain, resulting in personality
changes, loss of memory and a decline in all functional and mental abilities. It takes quite a long
time for the disease to set in and cause irreparable damage. It is always fatal.

Of late, however, there have been active debates about the possible correlation between the
female hormone, estrogen, and its positive effect on Alzhimer’s disease. Such debates are
becoming more common as women taking estrogen after menopause develop Alzhimer’s
disease very late in life and the associated risks seem to be low.

Research indicates that healthy women taking estrogen showed better mental abilities than
their counterparts who do not take any estrogen supplements.

Estrogen or Hormone Replacement Therapy

Most women need replacement hormones after menopause. Doctors normally recommend
hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or estrogen replacement therapy (ERT). Hormone
replacement therapy offers estrogen and progestin, which is an artificial form of the
progesterone hormone. Doctors advise the use of estrogen replacement therapy only for
women who have had their uterus removed.

Some research is underway to study the effect of estrogen on women over fifty years old. It also
will indicate whether hormone replacement therapy can help in curing other diseases like
uterine cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, memory loss, etc. Further, scientists are trying to
make estrogen safe for men, so that they do not develop any side effects like feminine features
and an increased incidence of cancer.

Soybeans contain plant estrogens, which are phytoestrogens. Intake of soybeans and soybean
products reduces various menopausal symptoms like hot flushes. Although such claims do not
have an active scientific backing, women whose diets are rich in soybeans report a lower
incidence of Alzhimer’s disease. This may be because of the presence of plant estrogens in
their food.

Extent of the Effect of Estrogen on Alzhimer’s Disease

Nevertheless, there is no conclusive proof or specific medical trials which indicate the extent of
the effect of estrogen on Alzhimer’s disease. Further scientific work regarding estrogen and its
effect or impact on Alzhimer’s disease is required to determine suggested dosages, the best
period of estrogen treatments and safety measures.

Although current literature is confusing about the best way to adopt this therapy for better health
and lower incidence of Alzhimer’s disease, women would do well to educate themselves about
different treatments and their benefits.

They also need to pay attention to their families’ histories of various medical ailments, strokes,
cancers and osteoporosis.

Another matter of great concern is that each of these treatments works differently for different
women. Women need to heed their doctor’s advice about the best treatment for them which
depends on their overall health pattern. Your doctor can provide valuable guidance about the
best way to safeguard yourself against Alzhimer’s disease with help from their knowledge of
your particular condition.
