Bioidentical hormone treatment is used to help our patients regain and maintain healthy hormone levels. This type of treatment may be administered via lozenges, creams, capsules, injections, or pellets.
Benefits for Women
Women who are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance may be eligible for bioidentical hormone treatment. For example, the following symptoms may qualify women for ongoing therapy:
· Hot flashes
· Heart palpitations
· Irritability
· Reduced focus
· Memory loss
· Depression
· Low sex drive
· Vaginal dryness
Women who are in the stages of perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause are especially likely to suffer adverse effects from a hormone imbalance. The perimeno pausal stage occurs about four to six years before menopause and is the point at which a woman’s hormone levels start to fluctuate. After the start of menopause, a woman’s estrogen levels decline acutely, and progesterone levels may be virtually diminished and could cause a severe imbalance.
