Using bio-identical hormones for the treatment of hormone imbalance
If you are noticing changes as you age in your mood levels, energy levels, and even sexual desire, you may be dealing with imbalanced hormones. This is incredibly common in men and women as they age. However, just because it’s typical doesn’t mean it should be tolerated! If you have been working with a primary care provider and have been diagnosed with a hormone imbalance, there are solutions available to you at Eden MedSpa of Charlotte, North Carolina. Dr. Obinna C. Oriaku and his team are dedicated to helping clients evaluate their hormone levels and determine if treatments like bioidentical hormone imbalance therapy are right for their needs!
What is bio-identical hormone imbalance treatment?
Dr. Oriaku defines bio-identical hormone imbalance treatment, also known as bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), as a form of hormone therapy utilizing hormones that are structurally identical to the ones naturally produced in our bodies. These natural hormones are derived from reliable plant sources and are chemically modified to be similar to human hormones. BHRT is used to treat imbalances or deficiencies in hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
What are the primary advantages of undergoing bioidentical hormone therapy?
While traditional hormone therapy uses synthetic hormones that are not identical to those produced in our bodies, BHRT offers several benefits, including the following:
- Lower risk of possible side effects due to their identical structure to human hormones.
- Better tolerated by the body and can result in fewer adverse reactions.
- Can be customized and hand-tailored to an individual’s specific hormone needs, ensuring a more effective treatment and noticeable improvement in symptoms.
- May have fewer long-term risks compared to traditional hormone therapy, including an increased risk of heart disease and breast cancer.
- Can improve overall health and well-being by balancing hormones and addressing underlying causes of hormone imbalances.
What can I expect from my BHRT treatment?
First, a proper diagnosis of imbalanced hormones will indicate the need for intervention. Dr. Oriaku and his team will thoroughly evaluate your hormone levels through laboratory testing, physical examinations, and a review of symptoms. Based on the specific results, an individualized treatment plan using bio-identical hormones will be created for you.
BHRT is typically administered through creams, gels, patches, or pellets inserted underneath the skin. The frequency and dosage of treatment vary depending on the patient and the severity of their hormone imbalances.
