What is bioidentical hormone replacement?
The MEDI Care Clinics team uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to rebalance your natural hormones. As a result, you get effective relief from symptoms of a hormone imbalance.
These imbalances can occur when your endocrine system decreases its production of hormones. These chemical messengers control many of your biological functions, so an imbalance can greatly impact your quality of life.
Men can experience low testosterone (low-T) over time, and women may see a reduction in estrogen and other vital hormones during menopause. BHRT provides your body with sufficient hormones to thrive.
Do I need bioidentical hormone replacement?
While hormone fluctuations are a normal part of aging, other conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), diabetes, or obesity can also cause an imbalance. Talk to the MEDI Care Clinics team if you are experiencing:
- Weight gain
- Mental fog
- Irritability
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Night sweats
- Hot flashes
- Sexual dysfunction
Men may experience a decrease in muscle mass and erectile dysfunction, while women may struggle with menstrual irregularity, painful sex, and vaginal dryness.
The team will evaluate your hormone levels to determine if BHRT can be the solution to your current problems.
Why is it important to use bioidentical hormones?
If you think of the way hormones activate your internal receptors, they function like keys in locks. While synthetic hormones can fit the locks, they cannot open them. Bioidentical hormones, however, can fit and turn, allowing your body to function as it should.
The MEDI Care Clinics team relies on Biote®, a gold standard for hormone therapy.
What can I expect during bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
There are many ways to receive bioidentical hormone replacement, such as through injections, creams, or patches, but the Biote method involves placing rice-sized pellets just under your skin’s surface.
The pellet implantation is a simple in-office procedure, and they release hormones at a steady pace to rebalance your hormones. After a few months, the team can replace the pellets to ensure your ongoing symptom relief.
