Bioidentical hormones are processed hormones that imitate the hormones made by your body’s glands. BHRT can help people who experience symptoms of low or unbalanced hormones, such as women in menopause or men lacking testosterone. Women in perimenopause can also begin to experience symptoms that can be treated with bioidentical hormones.
At the time of booking your appointment, feel free to ask any questions about hormones and how bioidentical hormone therapy can help.
It is important that you are a good candidate for BHRT.
If you’ve suffered from the following conditions, then you may not be eligible for bioidentical hormone therapy:
During your consultation, we may ask about your medical history. Providing accurate medical history details helps us ensure your treatment is safe and effective. This, along with blood testing, will help determine whether bioidentical hormone therapy is right for you.
That depends because the downtime between men and women is different. For men, we advise avoiding exercise or water submersion for 7 days after your treatment. For women, we recommend 3 days of no exercise or water submersion after treatment.
You may experience 3 to 7 days of mild soreness at the procedure site. To protect this area, a member of our team will lightly bandage the treated area. Your provider will go over downtime and answer any questions you have about post-care during your consultation.
Menopause is the point in a woman’s life when menstrual periods stop and she can no longer get pregnant. Perimenopause is the stage of life leading up to menopause. Perimenopause can cause menopause-like symptoms as it is when hormones such as estrogen experience a change in levels. These conditions can cause symptoms that dramatically change your daily life.
Our team performs bioidentical hormone therapy to combat the symptoms that these conditions may cause. Our highly trained specialists can answer other questions about hormones at the time of booking your appointment.
