Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a type of hormone therapy that uses hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. These hormones are typically derived from plant sources and are compounded by a pharmacist to meet the individual needs of the patient. BHRT is often used to address hormone imbalances that can occur due to aging, menopause, andropause, or other medical conditions.

Common hormones used in BHRT include:

• Estrogen: Often used to alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. Estradiol is the most helpful form of estrogen for women.
• Progesterone: Can help with sleep issues, anxiety, and menstrual irregularities.
• Testosterone: May be prescribed for low libido, fatigue, and decreased muscle mass in both men and women.
• DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone): A precursor hormone that can convert into other hormones like testosterone and estrogen, potentially improving energy and mood.
• Thyroid hormones: Used to treat hypothyroidism, which can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, constipation, thinning hair, and depression.

Symptoms of menopause include:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Mood swings
• Sleep disturbances
• Fatigue
• Weight gain
• Thinning hair
• Dry skin
• Loss of breast fullness
• Decreased libido

Symptoms of andropause (low testosterone) include:

• Low libido
• Fatigue
• Decreased muscle mass
• Increased body fat
• Erectile dysfunction
• Mood changes (irritability, depression)
• Sleep disturbances
• Hair loss
• Reduced bone density
