What are the signs of a hormonal imbalance?
Not sure if your symptoms are the result of a hormone issue? Common signs include:
- Irregular menstrual cycle (heavy or absent, more frequent or more painful)
- Depression, anxiety, and mood swings
- Brain fog and chronic fatigue
- Decreased sex drive and vaginal dryness
- Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
- Acne or changes in skin
- Hair loss or excessive body hair
A simple blood test can measure a variety of different hormones and identify any specific imbalances, and from there, your doctor can recommend treatment options such as hormone replacement therapy.
How does hormone therapy work?
Typically, women experiencing menopause symptoms can get relief with the help of hormone therapy. This treatment re-balances your hormone levels so you can enjoy a better mood, more enjoyable sex, improved sleep, etc. If your hormone imbalance isn’t caused by menopause, you may still be a good candidate for hormone therapy for women in order to get your levels back to where they should be.
What are bioidentical hormones?
Since we are a compounding pharmacy, we have the ability to make custom medications, and we use bioidentical hormones in our hormone replacement formulas. Unlike traditional HRT, bioidentical hormones are not made from animal products but rather from plants. In fact, these naturally derived hormones are identical in chemical composition to the ones your body produces!
How can I get started on BHRT?
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy requires a doctor’s prescription, and our pharmacy team can help you find a local healthcare professional to work with. Once we receive your prescription, we can tailor make a dose in the exact strength you need, as well as create a form that’s most convenient for you. We can do pellets, troches, creams, injections, pills, and more!
