5 Reasons Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Is The Right Relief For Menopause

Some women notice lower energy, hot flashes or weight gain during menopause.

Hot flashes and weight gain can affect quality of life. Golden Leaf Health provides Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) by video as a treatment option that may help manage menopause symptoms.

Some women consider Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for menopause symptoms, including low energy.

1. BHRT can relieve menopause symptoms

Hormone levels change with age. In women, estrogen levels decrease, while in men, testosterone levels decrease. Symptoms can affect quality of life, including depression or low sex drive.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy replaces hormones your body makes less of. Many women notice symptoms such as hot flashes ease within the first few weeks. Others, like sleep and mood, can take longer, and your provider will usually review how you are responding at about three months.

2. BHRT is a treatment that addresses your specific needs.

Your provider decides at the first visit whether lab testing is needed to begin treatment. When testing is used, the results help guide your hormone treatment.

Your care team is available if you have questions about treatment.

3. Bioidentical hormones come in a variety of forms

Your provider can recommend BHRT as:

• Creams
• Patches
• Gels
• Oral medication
• Troches
• Vaginal forms

We don’t offer pellets.

For women with vaginal dryness or pain with sex, vaginal estrogen as a cream, tablet or ring can lessen these symptoms.

4. BHRT fits into your routine

Treatment may use creams or patches. You will receive a steady, consistent dose of hormones throughout treatment.

Dosing frequency depends on the form you use. Your provider will set a schedule and adjust it as needed.

5. BHRT should be discussed with your provider

Your provider can discuss the safety and effectiveness of treatment with you and review your plan over time.
