Bio Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy

As men and women age, hormone levels in the body go down. These include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. This can lead to certain symptoms that impact the quality of life. Some symptoms are very common to women who are near or past the age of menopause.

FAQ's

What is BHRT?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is the use of hormones made from plant-based sources to identically match human hormones.

What hormones are used?

The most commonly used hormones for BHRT are testosterone, a form of estrogen, and progesterone. Testosterone is used in both men and women.

Do I have bloodwork done before each treatment?

Bloodwork is required before the first treatment and six weeks later to determine your dosing, then annually thereafter.

What are the pellets made from?

The pellets are derived from yams. Yams have the highest concentration of hormones. They are all natural and bio-identical, meaning they are the exact replication of what the body makes. There are no known allergens associated with yams.

How long will the treatments last?

Bio-identical hormone pellets last 3-4 months for women and 5-6 months for men. The absorption rate is based on cardiac output.

How is it administered?

The small hormone pellets are typically placed in the hip under a mild, local anesthetic. The procedure takes less than give minutes.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects for women and men are rare. In women, transient breast tenderness lasting 7-10 days may occur with the first insertion. There may be some hair growth or acne in moderation from occurrences from testosterone therapy. Men side effects may include decreased sperm count, decreased testicular mass and possible prostate enlargement. These side effects occur much more frequently with the use of synthetic hormone replacement therapy.

What if I'm already on hormone creams, patches, or injections?

This is an easy transition. Your certified treatment specialist will customize a treatment plan to convert from your current method of hormone replacement to the bio-identical pellet therapy.

What about breast cancer?

Breast cancer survivors and/or those who have a history of breast cancer in their family may still be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. Your provider will discuss the options during your consultation
