Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide relief for bothersome signs and symptoms related to age-related hormone decline or imbalances. BHRT uses hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to help restore optimal hormonal balance. This promotional article will cover key topics related to bioidentical hormones and their use in treatment provided by Renew Hormone Clinic in Allen Park.
Bioidentical hormones are structurally the same as endogenous hormones produced in the body. The most commonly used bioidentical hormones in replacement therapy are estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and DHEA. Because bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure, they can bind to hormone receptors and mimic the function of naturally produced hormones. This makes them an appealing treatment option.
There are key differences between bioidentical and synthetic hormone formulations:
Both men and women can benefit from bioidentical hormone therapy for conditions related to hormonal declines and imbalances, including:
Careful evaluation and testing are needed to determine if BHRT is appropriate for an individual's hormonal status and symptoms.
The practitioners at Renew Hormone Clinic specialize in precision hormone testing and replacement therapies to get patients feeling their best.
If hormone testing confirms a deficiency or imbalance, Renew Hormone Clinic practitioners will work with each patient to develop a customized bioidentical hormone therapy plan.
The first step is specialized lab testing to assess hormone levels. This includes key hormones like estradiol, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA-S, cortisol and thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Deficiencies or imbalances can then be identified.
Based on clinical evaluation and lab test results, Renew Hormone Clinic practitioners will recommend an individually tailored bioidentical hormone treatment plan. This includes selection of appropriate bioidentical hormone medications and dosing adjustments over time to meet treatment goals and minimize side effects.
After initiation of bioidentical HRT, follow-up visits and lab testing are done to track progress and make dosage adjustments. The duration of treatment depends on the underlying condition being addressed and response to therapy. Our goal is to optimize hormone balance for sustained results.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's own hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the long-term risks and benefits compared to synthetic hormones.
When used properly under medical supervision, bioidentical hormone therapy offers a variety of benefits:
Bioidentical estrogens, progesterone, testosterone and other hormones can provide relief for symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, fatigue, low libido, anxiety, mood changes and more.
Balancing hormone levels leads to an overall better sense of wellbeing. Patients report improved sleep, energy, mental clarity, exercise tolerance and enjoyment of life.
Optimizing hormones earlier in the transition or aging process may promote long-term health. This includes bone, heart and metabolic health for both men and women.
