Do you have concerns about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy? All of your questions will be answered by us.
What does the acronym BHRT stand for?
Hormone replacement treatment using bioidentical hormones. Hormones that are chemically similar to those that the human body normally generates are used in supplementary dosages for BHRT.
The second question is, "What does BHRT do?"
Helps with menopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause symptoms.
What are the steps involved in developing a BHRT treatment plan?
When a patient purchases bioidentical hormones from a compounding pharmacy, a custom hormone cocktail is made just for them. These hormones come in a variety of standard dosages if you buy them from a regular drugstore. In both cases, a doctor will prescribe medication after conducting a battery of diagnostic procedures. Soybeans and wild yams are common sources for the active ingredients in bioidentical hormones because they include chemicals that are chemically treated to generate hormones that are chemically identical to those produced by the body. Their low production costs and ease of component extraction make them ideal for creating synthetic analogues of human hormones.
When asked, "What is BHRT like?" the fourth most common response is "
If a doctor finds that a patient's hormone levels are declining, he or she may prescribe a fixed dose of estradiol to be taken at regular intervals throughout the month (this practice is known as "static dosing"). Beginning about day 18, a doctor may recommend a constant dosage of progesterone to mimic what the body naturally produced.
What are the various BHRT treatments available?
An option is static dosage. Rhythmic cycling is another option; it follows a natural cycle and is designed to represent a woman's fertile period. In the field of BHRT, rhythmic cycling is a novel method.
What are the instructions for administering BHRT?
Bioidentical hormones can be injected, taken orally, given as a cream or suppository, or applied topically.
