Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

A medically managed bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) program is a way to help people feel better when their bodies don't make enough of certain hormones. Hormones are like tiny messengers that tell different parts of the body what to do, such as helping with energy, sleep, and mood.   BHRT can help improve symptoms from a variety of conditions including menopause, perimenopause, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, loss of interest in sex, problems sleeping, loss of energy and stamina, weight gain, and mood changes in men and women.  

In BHRT, hormones are prescribed that are made to be just like the ones their bodies naturally make. These hormones come from plants but are changed to match the body’s hormones perfectly.

Hormones can be administered in different ways such as creams, pills, injections, or small pellets placed under the skin that slowly release hormones.  

Regular check-ins including symptom monitoring are required to make sure the treatment is working and that you feel better.
