Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. They are primarily derived from plant sources and custom-made by specialized compounding pharmacies to precisely match a person's hormone levels and needs as determined by lab testing.
Replacing diminished hormones with bioidentical versions is known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy or BHRT. This therapy alleviates unpleasant symptoms of hormone imbalance and decline. BHRT is an appealing option due to its natural composition and personalized approach.
Bioidentical hormones used in BHRT at our Second Spring Hormone Clinic include:
Some major benefits of bioidentical HRT offered at our clinic include:
The bioidentical hormones we use have the same molecular makeup as the hormones produced by the body. This makes them easier for the body to recognize and utilize without undesirable side effects.
We customize treatment protocols based on each patient's unique hormonal profile and needs. This tailored approach enhances safety and efficacy.
By replacing diminished hormones, BHRT can successfully alleviate troublesome symptoms associated with hormonal decline, allowing patients to feel more like their healthy, vibrant selves again.
Our team works diligently to make receiving BHRT as convenient and comfortable as possible for every patient. We listen attentively and seek to optimize care.
The first step toward successful treatment is accurately diagnosing existing hormone imbalances through blood, saliva, or urine testing. We utilize advanced lab testing services to check key hormone levels, including:
Some hormones commonly out of balance due to aging or stress include:
Too much estrogen and not enough progesterone can lead to issues like:
Declining testosterone often causes:
When thyroid hormones dip too low, patients often experience:
Every BHRT regimen we develop is specially tailored to the patient's lab results, medical history, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. However, standard protocols may include:
Bioidentical hormones are available in various forms to accommodate each patient's preferences:
We closely track patient progress through follow up tests and appointments to ensure optimal treatment effectiveness and safety. Dosages are adjusted accordingly.
We provide customized tips regarding nutrition, exercise, stress management and other areas to help amplify the benefits of BHRT. Useful local resources include:
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body. Studies show that bioidentical estrogens and progesterone may have some benefits over synthetics, including fewer side effects, though more research is still needed to confirm effectiveness and long-term safety.
It's vital to address hormone imbalances early on before they spiral into more debilitating effects. Benefits of timely BHRT treatment include:
