BHRT for Women

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) for women is a treatment used to balance hormones using hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the body. It is commonly used to manage symptoms related to hormonal changes such as menopause or hormone imbalance.

What BHRT Is

In BHRT, doctors prescribe bioidentical hormones that mimic natural hormones such as:

  • Estrogen

  • Progesterone

  • Testosterone

These hormones are usually derived from plant sources and are designed to match the body’s natural hormone structure.

BHRT may help reduce symptoms such as:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats

  • Weight gain

  • Brain fog

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Mood changes

  • Decreased energy

Forms of BHRT:

BHRT can be given in different forms, including:

  • Creams or gels

  • Pills or capsules

  • Patches

  • Injections

  • Pellets inserted under the skin
