Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)

Bioidentical hormone therapy uses hormones with a molecular structure identical to hormones the body produces. It may be considered when appropriate after an evaluation, and it is not automatically safer or more natural than other hormone options.

Adults with hormone-related symptoms who want a careful evaluation may be appropriate candidates. Evaluation, not treatment, is the first step, and not everyone who is evaluated ends up using hormone therapy.

Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, low energy, changes in libido and weight changes are common reasons. These symptoms can have many causes, which is why evaluation matters.

Evaluation starts with a detailed history and symptom review, then appropriate labs such as estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol and thyroid markers, interpreted in the context of your symptoms.

The term bioidentical refers to molecular structure, not origin. Bioidentical hormones are still medications, and they are not automatically safer or more natural than other hormone products.

Bioidentical hormones have a molecular structure identical to human hormones, while synthetic hormones differ in structure. Both have evidence, risks and benefits, and the right choice depends on your situation.

No. Compounded medications, including compounded hormones, are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold.

Hormone therapy has potential risks that vary by person, hormone, dose and delivery method. Risks are reviewed with you before treatment, and monitoring continues throughout care.

Monitoring includes follow-up visits, symptom review and appropriate labs. Doses are adjusted based on your response and clinical judgment.
