What You Need to Know
- BHRT is frequently used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause in women, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
- BHRT may be considered when there are hormonal imbalances, such as insufficient production of estrogen or progesterone. This can occur during certain stages of the menstrual cycle or due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Hormonal fluctuations can impact mood and emotional well-being. BHRT may be used to stabilize hormonal levels and improve mood in individuals experiencing symptoms such as anxiety or depression.
- BHRT is often chosen for its potential to provide a more individualized treatment approach. The hormones used in BHRT have the same molecular structure as those naturally occurring in the body, and the therapy can be tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
- Before considering BHRT, individuals should undergo a thorough evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider, and the decision to pursue hormone therapy should be made in collaboration with a healthcare professional based on a careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks.
Here are some common sources and methods of production for bioidentical hormones
Compounding pharmacies are facilities that can create customized medications, including bioidentical hormones, based on a prescription from a healthcare provider. Compounded bioidentical hormones are tailored to the specific needs of an individual patient and can be available in various forms such as creams, gels, capsules, or other formulations.
Some bioidentical hormones are available in commercially manufactured, FDA-approved products. These may include bioidentical estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone that have undergone standard pharmaceutical manufacturing processes.
Bioidentical hormones can be derived from plant sources such as soy or yams. These plant-derived hormones, particularly phytoestrogens, can be used as a starting material for the production of bioidentical hormones.
