Hormonal changes can occur with aging, medical conditions, or life transitions such as menopause and andropause. These changes may contribute to symptoms that affect overall well-being and daily function.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a medical treatment designed to help restore hormone levels when clinically appropriate. Bioidentical hormones are structurally similar to the hormones naturally produced by the body and are prescribed based on individual evaluation and laboratory testing.
Our approach emphasizes careful assessment, evidence-based treatment, and ongoing monitoring to support safe and effective care.
What Are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are medications that match the molecular structure of human hormones. Some bioidentical hormone therapies are FDA-approved, while others may be prepared by specialized compounding pharmacies when individualized dosing is necessary.
Treatment may involve:
Estrogen
Progesterone
Testosterone
DHEA
Thyroid hormones (when medically indicated)
All therapy decisions are based on clinical evaluation and appropriate lab testing.
Who May Benefit from Evaluation?
Patients experiencing symptoms possibly related to hormonal imbalance may benefit from consultation. These symptoms can include:
For Women
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Mood changes
Sleep disturbances
Vaginal dryness
Changes in energy levels
For Men
Low energy
Reduced libido
Decreased muscle mass
Mood changes
Symptoms associated with low testosterone
An evaluation helps determine whether hormone levels are contributing to symptoms and whether treatment is appropriate.
Our Clinical Approach
We prioritize patient safety and individualized care.
Your evaluation may include:
Comprehensive medical history
Symptom assessment
Laboratory testing
Risk evaluation
Discussion of benefits, risks, and alternatives
If therapy is initiated, treatment is carefully monitored with follow-up visits and lab testing to help maintain appropriate hormone levels.
Important Considerations
Hormone therapy is not appropriate for everyone. Certain medical conditions may limit candidacy, and all patients are evaluated for potential risks prior to starting treatment.
Our goal is to:
Address symptoms when clinically appropriate
Use the lowest effective dose
Monitor treatment closely
Maintain evidence-based standards of care
