The FDA has approved several bioidentical hormones for use in hormone replacement therapy. They are used to treat a variety of conditions, including symptoms associated with menopause and cancer. Before using any form of hormone replacement therapy, it is important to consult with your doctor or medical professional about the potential risks and benefits associated with the therapy.
Bioidentical hormones are plant-based hormones that have been chemically altered to be identical in structure to hormones produced by the body. This type of hormone replacement is becoming increasingly popular due to its safety profile as well as its ability to more closely mimic the body’s natural production of hormones than synthetic hormones.
Primary uses for bioidentical hormones include treatment of symptoms related to menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. They may also be prescribed to help reduce risk factors associated with osteoporosis and heart disease and are sometimes used in combination with other therapies in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. In addition, they may be prescribed off label to treat other conditions such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, fibromyalgia and even obesity.
Bioidentical hormones are available in both oral and topical forms – Creams, lotions and gels can be applied directly onto the skin for absorption into the bloodstream, while pills must first pass through the digestive system before being absorbed into the bloodstream. Both types work similarly once absorbed into the body but there are differences between them which should be discussed fully with your doctor or health care provider before beginning treatments.
The safety profile of bioidentical hormones is often considered superior to that of synthetic alternatives due to their identical structure that allows for improved absorption rates by the body. For this reason many people feel safer using bioidenticals when compared against synthetics - however it is important to remember that risks still exist when these medications are taken regularly over long periods of time and should always be discussed with a medical professional before beginning these therapies.
Though not all doctors specialize in prescribing bioidenticals because they require extensive knowledge regarding dosing as well as an understanding of how each particular patient's hormones interact with one another - BHRT Treament Center specializes exclusively in providing patients access to Bioidenticals tailored specifically for their individual needs under close medical supervision:
