Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. As we age, hormone levels can become imbalanced, leading to undesirable symptoms. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is the use of hormones chemically identical to those produced in the body to supplement declining levels, helping alleviate symptoms of hormone deficiency.
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidentical hormones are natural and plant-derived. They are specially prepared by compounding pharmacists to match the exact chemical structure of estrogens, progesterone and testosterone made in the human body. This makes them functionally identical to the hormones produced by the ovaries and testes before a age-related decline.
Both men and women can experience hormone imbalance as they get older, leading to symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Bioidentical hormone doctors help patients determine if hormone levels are suboptimal through blood tests and evaluation of symptoms.
Common signs that you may benefit from bioidentical HRT include:
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can effectively help alleviate these symptoms when they are associated with hormonal decline.
Balancing hormone levels with bioidentical HRT confers wide-ranging benefits:
The first step is having bioidentical hormone doctors check baseline blood levels of key hormones like estradiol, testosterone and progesterone. This testing enables customization of hormone prescriptions to the patient's specific needs.
There are different forms of bioidentical hormones including pills, sublingual tablets, creams, gels and pellets. Pellet implants placed under the skin supply a steady level of hormones over several months. Creams, gels and oral doses can be adjusted until optimal levels are reached.
Follow-up blood tests are important to monitor progress and ensure hormones are balanced correctly. Ongoing adjustments to the dosage or formulations may be necessary to achieve full benefits.
Bioidentical hormones are chemically identical to those naturally produced in the body. However, the body metabolizes them differently than endogenous hormones, so optimal dosing can be complicated to determine. Finding the right dose and method of administration involves patience, communication with one's healthcare provider, and some trial and error.
