Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
    Sometimes referred to as “Natural Hormones”, this type of therapy is a safe and effective treatment of hormone imbalance.  The difference between bioidentical hormones and synthetic hormones from the past is that bioidentical hormones are a custom fit, designed for your individual needs.  This allows many women to get past the “one-size-fits-all” dosage regimen offered by traditional synthetic hormones and find the balance they have been seeking since menopause.  Bioidentical hormones are an exact match, molecule for molecule, to the hormones produced naturally by a woman’s body.  The three major types of hormones prescribed for bioidentical hormone therapy are estrogens, progesterone, and androgens.  

    The goals of bioidentical hormone therapy are threefold:  to alleviate the symptoms caused by the natural decrease in production of hormones in the body, to give the protective benefits which were originally provided by naturally occurring hormones, and to re-establish hormonal balance.  Common symptoms of hormone imbalance that are of concern to many women are fatigue, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, loss of desire, fuzzy thinking, muscle aches, hair loss, dry skin, and vaginal dryness.  To begin, a thorough health history and physical assessment will be completed, followed by symptom identification and blood work which includes a baseline hormone panel.  Upon reviewing results with you, your health care provider will order a precise selection or mixture of the three major types of hormones discussed above.   These hormones are dispensed through a local compounding pharmacy.  Each patient is then monitored with follow-up visits and routine hormone panels to ensure symptom relief at the lowest possible dosage.
