Bioidentical Hormone Optimization
BHRT (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy) treats men and women when their hormone levels drop or become unbalanced.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those the human body produces. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are among those most commonly replicated and used in treatment. Bioidentical hormones come in various forms, including:
-
pills
-
patches
-
creams
-
gels
-
injections
-
pellets
When bioidentical hormone optimization therapy is administered at the proper dosage with consistency over an extended period of time, you should start to feel like yourself again. Some symptoms which BHRT may help include:
-
low libido or pain during sex
-
mood changes
-
memory loss
-
sleep issues
-
night sweats
Hormone replacement therapy may also reduce your risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, tooth loss, osteoporosis, and cataracts. There’s also evidence that it can help improve skin thickness, hydration, elasticity, and even reduce wrinkles.
