Bio-Identical
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
There has been controversy on the topic of Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT) for the last 15 years. Negative attitudes drastically
dominate the media since 2002. Combine this with the Women's Health
Initiative (WHI) study that was halted three years ago because of health
risks, it has caused a confusion for women trying to make an informed
decisions on their health.
Lets shed a little light on the confusion. First, the WHI study and the
subsequent media reports about HRT are based on Commercial HRT
only. They are based off findings about the combination of conjugated
estrogens and medroxyprogesterone (called PremPro). Thus, when you hear
about HRT in the news, this is what they are referring to.
There are alternatives. Over-the-counter, there are products
containing phytoestrogens, and topical products containing low-dose
progesterone. These will provide temporary relief in PMS, perimenopausal,
and menopausal symptoms. Long-term benefits and improved health can be
achieved through BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, a
prescription alternative.
What is Bio Identical Hormone Replacement
Therapy?
BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a prescription
alternative to conventional hormone replacement therapy (conjugated
estrogens, medroxyprogesterone, etc.)
BioIdentical medications are plant-derived, and chemically changed in a
laboratory until they are identical to what your body would naturally
produce. BHRT is customizable; in other words,
it can be adjusted to fit your needs, unlike conventional HRT, which has
a few standard dosage strengths.
What are the goals of BHRT?
Alleviate symptoms caused by the natural decrease in hormone production
in the body
Reestablish the individual's hormonal balance
Provide protective benefits that were originally provided by the body's
naturally occurring hormones
What are the benefits of BHRT? BHRT offers a number of health-related benefits:
-
