Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

about
BHRT

Women generally dismiss the symptoms of hormone imbalance as mere side effects of aging. They assume hot flashes, low sex drive, vaginal dryness, night sweats, mood swings and brain fog to be part of the aging process. This is partially true. Symptoms of hormone imbalance are an inevitable part of aging, but no woman must live with this ongoing battle or the uncomfortable symptoms that can diminish their quality of life.

It is possible for women to find relief from the symptoms of hormonal imbalances with Bio-Identical Hormonal Therapy.

What Is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bio-Identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment that can help restore your well-being if your hormone levels are out of balance.

Everyone’s hormone levels are susceptible to imbalance as part of the aging process. You might be experiencing unpleasant signs and symptoms that you simply push aside due to getting older but it’s highly likely they may be a result of decreasing hormones.

Bio-Identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) could, therefore, make a significant difference in the way you feel. While aging is inevitable, you do not have to surrender your mind and body to the common effects that accompany decreasing hormone levels.

Signs and Symptoms of a Hormonal Imbalance

In females of reproductive age, the most common hormonal imbalance is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Your normal hormonal cycle also changes naturally during these stages:
  • Puberty
  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding
  • Perimenopause
  • Menopause
Symptoms of a hormonal imbalance specific to females include:
  • Heavy or irregular periods, including missed periods, a stopped period, or a frequent period
  • Hirsutism, or excessive hair on the face, chin, or other parts of the body
  • Acne on the face, chest, or upper back
  • Hair loss, thinning hair
  • Darkening of the skin, especially along neck creases, in the groin, and underneath the breasts
  • Skin tags
  • Vaginal dryness and low sex drive
  • Vaginal atrophy
  • Pain during sex
  • Night sweats
  • Headaches
  • Mood Swings, anxiety, irritability, or depression
  • Memory loss and lack of mental clarity
  • Inability to lose weight despite exercise and food intake
  • Fatigue and increased need for sleep
Estrogen Bio-Identical Replacement: BHRT for estrogen will offer you a safe and effective treatment using a plant-based estrogen that mimics your own body’s natural hormone. The reason why it is the safer alternative to prescription drugs is the hormone itself and the delivery method. The hormone does not have any synthetic attachments and additives.

Testosterone Bio-Identical Replacement Therapy: It is a myth to think that this is just a Man’s hormone. Testosterone is a dominant hormone in women just as it is in men. Even if a woman takes estrogen there are unique benefits to testosterone balancing as it is the main factor in addressing symptoms of night sweats, low libido or sex drive, extreme fatigue, and tension/stress.

Progesterone Bio-Identical Replacement: For women who have a uterus it is essential to also use bioidentical progesterone. By increasing progesterone deficiency, you will see the benefits of better sleep, anxiety, and prevention of uterine cancer.

When considering Bioidentical Hormone Replacement, we counsel you to consider both quality of life needs and healthy aging promotion.

Why Use Bio-Identical Hormones?

Bioidentical hormones are compounded hormones derived from natural sources and designed to be structurally indistinguishable from naturally occurring human hormones. The term “bioidentical” refers to the exact-match replication of hormones which leads to a reduced number of side effects in patients, as well as the increased effectiveness and satisfaction of the treatment.

Bioidentical hormones are created in a lab and compounded into tailored prescriptions at a compounding pharmacy. Compounding pharmacies operate under specified guidelines established by Health Canada to compound bioidentical hormones in the exact strength and dosage as prescribed by your practitioner.
