5 Reasons Bioidentical Hormone Therapy Is The Right Relief For Menopause

Are you missing the energy and vitality you felt in your 20s? You’re not the only one feeling this way. Aging women can experience side effects of hormone depletion.

It’s frustrating to feel symptoms such as hot flashes and weight gain. Our care team at Golden Leaf Health provides Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) by video telehealth as a treatment option that may help manage menopause symptoms.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy may be for you if you want to boost your energy and live well during menopause.

1. BHRT can relieve menopause symptoms

The hormones in both men and women change as they age. In women, estrogen levels decrease while in men, testosterone levels decrease. You might experience a variety of symptoms that can impact your quality of life, such as depression or low sex drive.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy replaces hormones your body makes less of. Many women notice some 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.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy tailors treatment to your needs. Your provider decides at the first visit whether lab testing is needed to begin treatment. The results are used to develop a hormone replacement formula that is specific to your body’s needs.

Continuous monitoring will be provided as you progress throughout the course of your BHRT. You can always have access to your care team if you have any questions about your treatment.

3. Bioidentical hormones come in a variety of forms

BHRT comes in several forms to fit your needs. Depending on your unique symptoms and your lifestyle, your provider can recommend BHRT in the form of:

• Creams
• Injections
• Pellets
• Patches
• Gels
• Oral medication

For women bothered by vaginal dryness or pain with sex, vaginal estrogen in the form of a cream, tablet, or ring, can lessen these symptoms.

4. BHRT fits into your routine

You can get your treatment as custom-made creams or patches. You will receive a steady, consistent dose of hormones throughout your 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.
