Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a treatment approach that uses hormones structurally identical to the ones naturally produced in the body. These hormones are designed to restore balance and relieve symptoms caused by hormone deficiencies or imbalances. Unlike synthetic alternatives, bioidentical hormones closely mimic the body’s natural chemistry, offering a more tailored and potentially better-tolerated therapy option. We are an EVEXIPEL CERTIFIED PROVIDER.
Whether it’s female bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (Estradiol, Progesterone, and Testosterone) for menopausal symptom relief or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for men (Testosterone) addressing low testosterone and andropause, BHRT can be customized to meet individual needs. Patients seeking the best hormone replacement therapy (HRT) benefit from individualized treatment plans, guided by medical evaluation and ongoing monitoring.

| Route | Advantages | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Pellets | – Provide steady, long-acting hormone release over 3–6 months | – Requires minor procedure for insertion and removal |
| – Avoid first-pass liver metabolism, enhancing bioavailability | – Less flexibility in quick dose adjustments | |
| – Improved patient adherence with infrequent dosing | ||
| Injections | – Rapid onset and effective hormone delivery | – Hormone levels fluctuate between doses |
| – Dose easily controlled and adjusted | – More frequent administration (e.g., biweekly) | |
| Topical – Creams, Gels, Patches | – Easy to administer and dose adjustment | – Absorption variability depending on skin condition |
| – Bypass first-pass hepatic metabolism | – Some patients may prefer or dislike daily application routines |
Individualized treatment selection includes patient preference, symptom control, lifestyle, and side effect profiles for optimal results.
FDA-approved bioidentical hormones have been proven safe and effective with rigorous quality control. Compounded bioidentical hormones lack such oversight, which may lead to variable potency and safety concerns. Shared decision-making with your provider is important.
Treatment duration is individualized. Many benefit from therapy for several years, but lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed to relieve symptoms is commonly recommended. Some patients with persistent symptoms may continue long-term under medical supervision.
Hormone levels are monitored clinically and by laboratory testing depending on the hormone replaced. Adjustments follow symptom relief and safety parameters. Routine hormone tests like saliva or blood must be interpreted carefully in context.

Your provider will evaluate your risk profile carefully before starting therapy and monitor you regularly. in providing top-notch pool service and maintenance
Pellets provide steady blood hormone levels and convenience with less frequent dosing. However, they require minor surgical insertion and removal, and dose changes are less flexible. Pills and gels offer easy dosing adjustments but may lead to daily fluctuations and variable absorption.
