For many years, women who experience the abrupt cessation of hormone production known as menopause have been treated with estrogen replacement therapy. The goal of natural or bioidentical hormone restoration therapy (BHRT) is to correct hormonal imbalances in order to lessen undesirable symptoms and treat diseases brought on by hormonal imbalances.
BHRT are hormones with the same
chemical makeup as those produced by the body
normally, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Specific testing is carried out to
identify the specific hormones in order to ascertain which hormones are out of
balance. Following diagnosis, a
particular treatment procedure utilizing bioidentical hormones is started.
It has been demonstrated that
conventional synthetic hormone replacement therapy raises the risk of blood clots, breast cancer,
heart attacks, and strokes. It has been demonstrated that using BHRT does not make these conditions more likely to occur. Because
bioidentical hormone
replacement therapy uses natural hormones, which our bodies are designed to metabolize, there are significantly fewer
side effects. Synthetic hormones frequently have strong side effects
that are intolerable.
Testing for a hormone imbalance should
be done prior to starting treatment to ensure that the patient does not also have another
condition, such as depression, that is affecting
them.
In order to provide the right therapy
and tailor it to the needs of the specific
patient, it is also necessary
to identify the specific hormone that is out of balance. A blood test or
a salivary test can be used for
testing. The "Pellet BHRT" test involves examining the blood to determine
which hormones are not reaching
the organs in the proper
quantities.
A good BHRT provider for women is the only option if you need good treatment.
