Hrt and menopausal symptom control: skin, muscle and joints

HRT AND MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOM CONTROL: SKIN, MUSCLE AND JOINTS
There is evidence that low oestrogen levels over a period of years affect the collagen component of skin, causing it to become thinner, drier, more prone to damage, bruising and itching, and somewhat transparent in appearance. Loss of collagen also occurs in ligaments and other soft tissues, and this may explain joint aches and pains. An estimated 15 to 30 per cent of collagen is lost from the skin within five years of menopause. Another problem experienced by some women around this time is a crawling sensation on the skin (known as formication).
HRT appears to prevent the thinning effect or, if it has already occurred, to restore skin thickness and improve its texture by increasing the collagen content. It may also provide relief from crawling skin sensations, and muscle and joint aches and pains. All the hormone therapy in the world will not remove wrinkles, but they may become less noticeable while you are on HRT because the skin looks fuller. Hair texture may also improve, although there is not necessarily an increase in the number of hairs.
