When we say our hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is “bioidentical,” it means that the hormones used in the treatment are chemically identical to the hormones naturally produced by your body. The BioTe pellets that we used are derived from yams, which contain a high concentration of hormones. This approach aims to replicate the body’s natural hormone balance more closely, potentially leading to fewer side effects and improved outcomes compared to synthetic hormone alternatives.
Yes, you can still receive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) even if you’re currently using hormone creams, patches, or injections. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure that your current hormone regimen is compatible with the proposed HRT treatment plan. Your provider can also help you safely transition between different forms of hormone replacement therapy in Frederick if necessary. Together we can develop a special treatment plan to help you convert to our bioidentical pellet therapy over time. This ensures that your body remains in balance throughout the change.
The hormones in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are administered in the form of pellets, and can be inserted into one’s buttock, flank, or abdomen. The duration of the effects of a treatment can vary depending on factors such as the type of hormones used, the dosage, and individual response. Typically, the effects of each treatment may last anywhere from several weeks to several months before requiring additional treatment or adjustment. It’s essential to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your hormone levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Determining if you’re a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) involves a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, current symptoms, hormone levels, and overall health. Your healthcare provider will assess factors such as your age, symptoms of hormone imbalance, existing medical conditions, and potential risks and benefits of treatment. Additionally, diagnostic tests such as blood tests will be performed before your initial treatment and repeated yearly to evaluate hormone levels and identify any underlying health concerns. Based on this evaluation, your provider will determine if HRT is a suitable option for addressing your individual needs and goals.
If you have a history of breast cancer or are at an increased risk for breast cancer, recommendation for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may vary. Because individual circumstances vary, and it’s essential to discuss your specific situation with a healthcare provider who can provide personalized guidance based on factors such as your medical history, cancer treatment, and current health status. In the past, breast cancer survivors may have been excluded from receiving HRT due to their predisposed illness, however, with our Biote HRT you are still an eligible candidate for our therapy.
