Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in a woman's body. They are used to supplement declining hormone levels during perimenopause and menopause. The main bioidentical hormones used are:
- Estrogen - Helps relieve hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, sleep problems, and bone loss
- Progesterone - Helps relieve irregular periods, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and bone loss
- Testosterone - Helps improve sex drive, energy levels, muscle mass, memory and concentration
Benefits of bioidentical hormone therapy:
- Relieves symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopausal transition
- Lowers risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures
- May help prevent heart disease when started early in menopause
- Improves skin elasticity, muscle mass and emotional wellbeing
Bioidentical hormones can be taken as:
- Pills - easy to take orally but may be less effective as hormones metabolize through the digestive system
- Creams/Gels - absorbed through skin directly into bloodstream
- Injections - injected directly into fat/muscle for controlled release over time
- Vaginal preparations - tablets, creams and rings deliver hormones directly to vaginal tissue
