Hormone Replacement Therapy

What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment using hormones that are identical to the hormones naturally made by your body. It can be a life-changing therapy for men and women as they enter the later stages of life. Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is made by compounding pharmacists in customized dosages based on the individual needs of the patient in conjunction with an indepth consultation and close follow-up.

Men’s Hormone Imbalance Symptoms:

Women aren’t the only ones to experience hormone imbalance symptoms, however the symptoms men experience are not quite as obvious and often ignored. Adequate levels of testosterone are imperative to a man’s health maintenance and general well-being. The most common symptoms of a hormonal imbalance in men include:

• Tiredness/Fatigue/Lack of motivation
• Decreased muscle mass
• Weight gain
• Increased belly fat
• Decreased sex drive
• Loss of erectile function
• Joint pain
• Depression
• Tension, anxiety

Male Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

The male body is resilient and it works efficiently when given the right components. Low testosterone, or “Low T”, issues include a number of outward symptoms and over time, can be the cause of many physical issues. Men have an ongoing drop in their testosterone levels from their 20s onwards. As the testosterone drops noticeably in the 40s into the 50s, doctors have started referring to this as “andropause” – rather, the male equivalent to menopause.

Female Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Women are more susceptible to feeling the effects of hormonal imbalance. When hormone levels are low, the female body will not function as it should. Low hormone levels result in a number of symptoms. As time passes, the ongoing lack of hormones can cause the body to slow down and even deteriorate faster than it really should. When menopause occurs, a woman’s hormone levels drop dramatically. Women may experience the downward trend in testosterone and estrogen over the years, but when menopause occurs, estrogen levels can drop to zero.

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (BHRT) PELLETS

Pellets are the preferred method of hormone replacement delivery. Small pellets, roughly the size of a grain of rice, are placed in fatty tissue of the buttocks or lower back area. The pellets can deliver a dose of either testosterone for men, or testosterone/estrogen for women. Each BHRT pellet implant lasts for several months and provides a substantial and stable release of hormones into the body.

Why Pellet Therapy?

There are many delivery methods that can be utilized to administer BHRT; however, data shows the most efficient method by way of absorption and availability to deliver hormones in both men and women is by pellet therapy. Pellet Therapy provides many benefits to both men and females.

Pellet Therapy vs. traditional delivery methods:

• Most convenient HRT Method (2-4 times per year)
• Only long-term solution for HRT
• Consistent administration of hormones (No rollercoaster effect)
• Relief of Hormone Imbalance Symptoms 75-100%
