What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a natural approach to hormone replacement, using hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body. BHRT is often prescribed to both men and women to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalances that occur with aging, menopause, or other conditions.BHRT for WomenFor women, hormone imbalances often arise during menopause, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and low energy. BHRT can restore balance by replenishing estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone. Women typically benefit from BHRT in the following ways:•Reduced hot flashes and night sweats•Improved mood and mental clarity•Increased energy levels•Enhanced libido•Better sleep patterns•Improved skin elasticity and bone healthBy mimicking the body’s natural hormones, BHRT provides a more personalized and potentially lower-risk alternative to synthetic hormone treatments.BHRT for MenAs men age, they may experience andropause, a condition marked by declining testosterone levels. Symptoms of low testosterone include fatigue, weight gain, reduced muscle mass, and diminished sex drive. BHRT helps men by:•Increasing muscle mass and strength•Enhancing libido and sexual performance•Improving mood and mental sharpness•Boosting energy and vitality•Supporting cardiovascular healthTreatment Options for Men and WomenBHRT is available in various forms, including pills, creams, patches, gels, and injections.
