Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormones are chemicals produced by your body’s endocrine glands. If your body makes too much or too little of a certain hormone, it can impact the way you feel and the way your body functions. The symptoms of hormonal imbalance can vary depending on the hormone affected, but often include:

• Fatigue
• Hot flashes
• Weight gain
• Frequent urination
• Thinning hair
• Anxiety or depression
• Decreased sex drive

For women specifically, other symptoms can include vaginal dryness, discomfort during sex, and heavy or irregular periods. Men may experience erectile dysfunction, infertility, or loss of muscle mass.

Bioidentical hormones are synthetic hormones that are chemically identical to the hormones found naturally in the body. They originate from plant matter that’s altered in a laboratory to enhance your body’s ability to absorb the hormones. Bioidentical hormones are popular because they mimic natural hormones. They’re easily metabolized by the body, and they can be a more natural option than traditional hormone replacements. As with all hormone replacement therapies, there are risks associated with bioidentical hormones. Always consult with your entire health care team before beginning any new treatment plan and make sure to understand the possible side effects of new medications.
