BioIdentical Hormone Restoration Therapy Overview
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) is most often used for menopause. Yet any woman who has experienced weight gain, endometriosis, PMS, low libido or fibrocystic breasts may also benefit from Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is also recognized as a tool in Age Management, helping one fight the signs and symptoms of aging.
In addition, our saliva hormone testing kit also gives you the ability to check your hormone levels in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Traditionally, women have used synthetic estrogen and/or progestin supplements to treat menopausal symptoms or to protect against osteoporosis and heart disease. While these hormones often help relieve some menopausal symptoms, they also have many unpleasant side effects. Most recently, studies have shown that these synthetic hormones can also increase the risk of a heart attack, stroke, and certain forms of cancer.
An alternative solution for women needing this therapy may be the use of natural hormones rather than synthetic ones. Bio-Identical Hormones are derived from either the soy or yam plant and are converted to be identical to the hormones found in the human body.
Blackfalds Pharmacy is committed to helping you and your doctor find solutions that work for you. We understand that committing to Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a big step. This is why we approach BHRT and HRT holistically. We prefer to start your journey with a preliminary appointment so that we can deal with your individual situation uninterrupted and give you the attention you deserve.
