Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for Women
As a provider specializing in women’s health and hormone optimization, I offer Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) as a personalized approach to managing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, particularly during perimenopause and menopause.
BHRT uses hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced in a woman’s body—most commonly estradiol, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone. Unlike traditional synthetic hormone therapies, bio-identical hormones are compounded or commercially available in precise doses tailored to each patient’s unique needs, based on comprehensive lab testing and clinical assessment.
Women may benefit from BHRT if they are experiencing symptoms such as:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Sleep disturbances
- Low libido
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Brain fog or memory issues
- Fatigue or loss of energy
- Weight gain or changes in body composition
In my practice, I focus on individualized care, prioritizing safety and efficacy. Treatment begins with thorough hormonal evaluation, medical history review, and assessment of risk factors to ensure that BHRT is an appropriate option. We discuss the risks and benefits in detail, considering factors like family history, cardiovascular health, and personal wellness goals.
Therapies may include bio-identical hormones delivered via:
- Pellets implanted under the skin
Regular follow-up and hormone monitoring allow me to adjust dosing and ensure optimal symptom relief while minimizing potential side effects. My goal is to help women regain quality of life, vitality, and balance during transitional hormonal stages.
