Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) uses hormones that are chemically identical to those the human body naturally produces. It is commonly used to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
Bioidentical hormones have similar molecular structures as those produced in the body, including estrogen (estradiol, estrone, and estriol), progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones can be administered in various forms such as pills, patches, creams, gels, injections, and pellets inserted under the skin.
BHRT offers several benefits.
- Symptom Relief: BHRT can alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.
- Bone Health: Estrogen helps maintain bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
- Heart Health: Some studies suggest that hormone therapy can improve heart health, although this is still debated.
- Skin and Hair: Hormones can improve skin elasticity and hair health.
- Mood and Energy: BHRT can help stabilize mood and increase energy levels.
