BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES
Are you feeling fatigued, irritable, or experiencing other unpleasant symptoms of hormonal imbalances? Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) might be the solution you've been seeking. 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.
You will have a consultation with Dr Babamiri who is our specialist doctor in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She will conduct an in-depth consultation covering many aspects of your symptoms and medical history. She will arrange further investigations such as blood hormone profiles as part of bespoke treatment plan. She will then prescribe your specialist prescription.
What are the benefits of Bioidentical Hormones?
One of the main advantages of BHRT is its ability to provide individualized treatment. Unlike conventional hormone replacement therapy, which typically involves a one-size-fits-all approach, BHRT takes into account a person's unique hormone levels and symptoms. This personalized approach allows for targeted treatment and better outcomes.
Additionally, because bioidentical hormones closely resemble the body's natural hormones, they are generally better tolerated and have a lower risk of side effects compared to synthetic hormones. Many individuals who have tried BHRT report improvements in their overall well-being, including increased energy levels, improved mood, better sleep quality, and enhanced sexual function.
Furthermore, BHRT has shown promising results in reducing the risk of certain age-related conditions, such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. By restoring hormone levels to a more youthful state, BHRT may help maintain bone density, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of age-related diseases.
