What Is Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy?
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (also called Natural Hormone Therapy) refers to the use of hormones that are derived from natural resources, such as yams, that are then compounded to best mimic the molecular structure of the hormones that the body naturally produces. They are then individually compounded by a pharmacy to meet the exact concentrations and ratios, as prescribed by the practitioner, that each patient requires. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is used to re-establish the hormonal balance within the body.
How are bio-identical hormones administered!
BHRT can be administered in a variety of methods such as creams, patches, pellets, injections, and sublingual tablets or drops. The method of administration can vary from patient to patient depending on their specific needs, lifestyle, and the doctor’s recommendations. Medication can be administered daily, weekly, or even as infrequently as every 4-6 months if you choose to use pellets. Pellet therapy is the most effective way to deliver and sustain hormone levels. Even patients who have failed with other hormone therapy have a very high success rate with pellets.
