Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Pills

This is the most common form of bio-identical hormone therapy. Pills are taken orally every day.

Patches or Gels

These are applied to the skin and allow hormones to be directly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Pellets

Small pellets are inserted under the skin, usually in the hip or buttock area, and release hormones slowly over time.

Injections

Your provider typically administers these hormone treatments.

What conditions can Bioidentical Hormone Therapy treat? + -

BHT is typically used to treat symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, and andropause (also known as "male menopause"). Symptoms can include hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss, mood swings, weight gain, and low libido.

How is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy administered? + -

Bioidentical hormones can be administered through various methods including pills, patches, creams, gels, injections, and implanted pellets.

Are Bioidentical Hormones better than synthetic hormones? + -

Bioidentical hormones are designed to replicate the structure of the hormones that the body naturally produces. Some people believe this makes them safer or more effective than synthetic hormones, but research has not conclusively proven this. The choice between bioidentical and synthetic hormones is a personal one and should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider.
