Understanding The Truth About Bioidentical Hormones

If you are looking for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in Hallandale Beach, you may wonder, is it better than typical hormones? The answer is yes!

It is the preferred method of prescribing hormone replacement therapy for women. Yet there are still a lot of myths and misconceptions about bioidentical hormones.

First, let’s understand a little bit more about hormones. Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They are made mainly by the glands of your endocrine system. Hormones influence, control, or regulate just about every biological process in your body.

“Here are many different kinds of hormones, but the ones you are most familiar with are probably the sex hormones, testosterone in men and estrogen and progesterone in women.“

Impact Of Female Hormones Fluctuation On Women

You most likely are familiar with these hormones – particularly women – because these are the ones that can cause issues when they are low or out of balance.

Women, in particular, are well aware of how fluctuations in their female hormones impact moods and physical health during regular menstrual cycles.

Women become even more accurately aware of the effects of hormone imbalances as they approach and enter menopause. As women get close to the end of the childbearing years, estrogen levels drop significantly, which can lead to a glut of unpleasant symptoms.

Hormone replacement therapy has been the treatment of choice for women to relieve the most debilitating symptoms of menopause, such as the all-too-familiar hot flashes, night sweats, sexual health issues, and mood swings.

Over the past few decades, hormone replacement therapy, or HRT for women, has become somewhat controversial. But women need to understand that the introduction of these hormones has cleared up many of those previous concerns.

Bioidentical Hormones Vs. Synthetic Hormones

So, what exactly are bioidentical hormones? It is a complete duplicate of the naturally occurring hormones produced by your body. As opposed to synthetic hormones, it has the same molecular structure as the hormones produced by your body.

Which means they are used and absorbed much more quickly than synthetic hormones. Since hormones — in the case of bioidentical estrogens, for example — are exact duplicates of the hormones a woman’s ovaries would make, they offer more effective symptom relief than synthetic hormones with fewer risks and side effects.

It is all-natural and derived from plant sources. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are the most commonly used hormones. There is a common misconception that the FDA does not approve bioidentical therapy. This is not the case.
