Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a personalized treatment designed to restore hormonal balance in individuals experiencing symptoms related to hormonal fluctuations or deficiencies. Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies, which may use synthetic hormones, BHRT employs hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. These hormones are derived from natural sources and can be tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs.
Why Consider BHRT?
As we age, hormonal levels can decline, leading to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. BHRT can help alleviate these symptoms, promoting overall well-being and improving quality of life. Common reasons to consider bioidentical hormone therapy include:
Menopause Symptoms: Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness can significantly impact daily life. BHRT can help manage these symptoms effectively.
Andropause Symptoms: Men may experience fatigue, decreased libido, mood changes, and muscle loss as testosterone levels decline. BHRT can restore energy and vitality.
Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders may benefit from hormone balancing through BHRT.
