Bioidentical Hormones
Hormone replacement is commonly used in medical practice to restore levels of certain hormones that may be lacking in the body.
This is commonly referred to as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Bioidentical hormones are synthetically made and structurally identical to human hormones found in the body. They are derived from plants but chemically modified to mimic the function of internally produced hormones.
What happens during the consultation?
Every patient is individual when considering bioidentical hormone therapy and each plan is bespoke to your needs. During your initial consultation we undertake a thorough medical history and explore symptoms you may be experiencing. We perform investigations such as blood tests or in some cases scans or imaging. The blood tests provide us with your hormone profile. If the hormone levels are consistent with the symptom experienced then we discuss options. The treatment plan always includes regular follow ups and ongoing monitoring. We also discuss lifestyle changes that may help your symptoms. Some symptoms such as dryness may be improved with other forms of treatments such as Forma V.
