The hormones we use are formulated specifically to match your needs and optimize your estrogen and progesterone levels for improved health and well-being.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

BHRT refers to the use of hormones that are molecularly the same as the ones naturally produced in the human body to treat symptoms related to menopause and aging in women. The goal of BHRT is to restore hormone levels to a more optimal or balanced level. Estrogen and progesterone are essential hormones that regulate various functions in the female reproductive system and body. Thus, they are the main focus of BHRT, which includes two main types:

Estrogen-Only Therapy

Estrogen-only treatment is used for women who had a hysterectomy and, therefore, do not have a uterus. Bioidentical hormones replace their own estrogen, which is no longer adequately produced by the ovaries after menopause.

Combined Estrogen and Progestin Therapy

There is also a treatment option that includes both estrogen and progesterone. It is most commonly used for peri- and post-menopausal women with uterus. The estrogen component helps to minimize menopausal symptoms, while the progestin helps to prevent the uterine lining from overgrowth that may lead  to endometrial hyperplasia.

BHRT Procedure Overview

Our BHRT procedure begins with an initial consultation. We will evaluate your symptoms, health history, and goals. Comprehensive lab testing will also be ordered to identify any hormonal imbalances. Once the results are ready, our medical team will develop a customized treatment plan.

Hormone replacement therapy typically involves estrogen and progesterone supplementation to treat menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and bone loss). Estrogen doses can be given as a skin patch, vaginal ring, cream/tablet insert, pellet, or oral tablet. Progesterone is usually administered via an oral capsule or sometimes an intrauterine device. Hormone replacement therapy regimens can result in a monthly withdrawal bleed due to the cycling  of progesterone. However, there are also combined treatments with both estrogen and progestin that do not cause bleeding.

Recovery After Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

After stopping the intake of estrogen and progestin, hormone levels start decreasing, and the body begins adjusting to these hormone imbalances. The recovery process is different for every woman because many factors influence it, such as the length of therapy, age, and underlying health status. In the first few months, you may experience hormone withdrawal symptoms. These can feel like intense menopause or PMS symptoms. Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes  are also common. As your body regulates hormone production again, these effects should taper off. However, some patients report intermittent symptoms for a year or more after the procedure.

Ideal Candidates for Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Women Going Through Perimenopause or Menopause

Estrogen and progesterone levels drop during perimenopause and menopause. This decline is associated with unpleasant symptoms like mood swings, weight gain, and sleep difficulties. It also leads to an increased risk of developing osteoporosis. Hormone replacement therapy can provide estrogen and progesterone to replace what the body is no longer producing itself. This helps to alleviate troublesome menopausal symptoms and slow bone loss.

Younger Women Who Undergo Early Menopause or Premature Ovarian Failure

Some young women experience an abrupt drop in hormone levels at an early age (before 40). Such patients face unique challenges. Without hormone replacement therapy, they will remain in a menopausal state with potential lifelong health consequences. Young women with this problem often have more intense symptoms than the ones undergoing natural menopause. There may also be increased risks of heart disease and neurological disorders (such as brain hypersensitivity to pathological stressors) if this condition is not addressed at the initial stages. Thus, younger women with premature ovarian failure or early menopause are prime candidates for hormone replacement therapy.

Benefits of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

There are many benefits of BHRT. The main ones include:

Reductions in Menopausal Symptoms

BHRT can help relieve troublesome menopausal symptoms, such as vaginal dryness and night sweats. The plant-derived hormones are formulated to match the body’s natural natural ones, helping patients to restore their youthful levels of estrogen and progesterone.

Weight Loss

Balancing hormone levels can help women lose weight that was gained during perimenopause  and menopause. Coupled with a healthy diet  and exercise program, BHRT is an effective way to address hormone imbalance and avoid weight gain.

Vaginal Health

The vaginal lining may become thin, dry, and inflamed during menopause. Using bioidentical estrogen helps to improve vaginal acidity and moisture, improving elasticity and thickness of vaginal walls. As a result, patients can avoid irritation and discomfort during intimacy.

Healthy Bone Mineral Density

Estrogen plays a vital role in maintaining healthy bone density. Bioidentical estrogens can prevent excessive bone loss during menopause, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture.

Cardiovascular Health

Optimizing estrogen levels with bioidentical hormones may help to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, reduce plaque buildup in arteries, and strengthen heart health. The antioxidant properties of hormones are also beneficial for the work of the cardiovascular system.

Mental Health

Menopausal hormone changes are closely tied to anxiety, depression, and poor concentration for some women. BHRT smoothes hormone highs and lows, which gives patients more energy, better mood, and improved sleep. In such a way, this treatment helps women to protect their mental health.

With careful evaluation and monitoring, female patients who are affected by premature reproductive aging can manage their symptoms in the short term while preserving their physical and mental health for their entire lives.
