BIO IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY

Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a medical treatment using hormones chemically identical to naturally produced hormones from plant sources to restore hormonal balance and improve quality of life. It requires supervision by a healthcare provider and regular monitoring.

BHRT involves a personalized assessment of a patient’s symptoms, medical history, hormone levels, and overall health to determine if it is suitable for the patient. A customized treatment plan is developed, focusing on individualized hormone levels. BHRT may involve hormone prescriptions like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, or thyroid hormones. It can be administered in various forms and monitored regularly. BHRT can alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, improve bone density, muscle mass, skin quality, and overall well-being. However, it carries potential risks and side effects.
