Low or declining estrogen or progesterone levels are commonly due to menopause, but can also be a result of conditions such as autoimmune or genetic disorders, eating disorders, and chemotherapy.
Symptoms commonly associated with low hormone levels include weight gain, hot flashes, decreased sex drive, and vaginal dryness, but can also manifest as other issues from dry skin and irritability to weak or brittle bones and insomnia. Hormone replacement therapy for women has advanced over the years to provide multiple methods of relief to women with low or decreasing estrogen or progesterone levels, including some options that treat both hormone deficiencies.
Bio – Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is the process of restoring and maintaining hormone balance.
Hormones that are typically prescribed for BHRT are Estrogens (Estriol and Estradiol), Progesterone, Testosterone and DHEA. These precise components of each woman’s therapy needs to be determined upon completion of a physical examination, medical history and laboratory testing ordered by your doctor. Close monitoring is essential to ensure that appropriate dose adjustments are made if needed.
