Who Can Benefit from Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?
BHRT is suitable for individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances due to aging, menopause, perimenopause, PMS, or other health conditions. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a natural and individualised approach to hormone therapy.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy vs. Traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy
While both Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and traditional Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) aim to alleviate symptoms of hormonal imbalance, they differ significantly in their composition and application.
Traditional HRT
Traditional HRT often uses synthetic hormones or hormones derived from animal sources, which can sometimes result in unwanted side effects due to their slightly different structure compared to human hormones.
BHRT
In contrast, BHRT is crafted from plant-derived sources and is molecularly identical to the hormones your body produces, allowing for a more natural and harmonious integration. This key difference is why many women report feeling more balanced and symptom-free on BHRT compared to conventional HRT.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy: Safety & Considerations
While BHRT is generally well-tolerated, it may not be suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions may require careful consideration before beginning hormone therapy, including:
A history of hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast or ovarian cancer
Active liver disease
Uncontrolled hypertension
History of blood clots or thromboembolic disorders
While BHRT is generally well-tolerated, it may not be suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions may require careful consideration before beginning hormone therapy, including:
