Frequently Asked Questions

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)

  • How does BHRT work?

    BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to those the body produces naturally, offering a personalized approach to treating symptoms of hormonal imbalances. These imbalances may arise from menopause, andropause, thyroid disorders and other conditions.

  • What are the benefits of BHRT?

    The key benefits of BHRT include:

    • Enhanced Well-being and Energy: BHRT can significantly improve sleep quality and reduce disturbances, leading to increased energy levels and vitality. This helps in tackling the fatigue often associated with hormonal imbalances.
    • Mood, Mental Health and Cognitive Function: By stabilizing hormones, BHRT can alleviate mood swings, depression and anxiety, while improving mental clarity and cognitive function, enhancing overall mental well-being.
    • Sexual Health and Bone Density: BHRT addresses sexual health issues such as low libido and vaginal dryness, and supports bone health by improving bone density, thereby reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
    • Skin Health: It also contributes to maintaining skin hydration, elasticity and thickness, promoting a youthful appearance.
  • Does BHRT cause side effects?

    Yes, while BHRT is designed to mimic the body’s natural hormones closely and is often well-tolerated, some individuals may experience transitional side effects as the body adjusts to new levels of hormones. These side effects are usually temporary and often resolve as hormone levels stabilize. Common side effects include:

    • Mood Swings and Emotional Changes: As hormone levels adjust, some individuals may experience mood fluctuations, including feelings of anxiety or irritability.
    • Fatigue: Initial adjustments to hormone levels may lead to feelings of tiredness or fatigue, which typically improve with time.
    • Skin Reactions: Some individuals might notice skin irritation or redness at the site of hormone application, especially with topical forms of BHRT.
    • Weight Changes: Temporary changes in weight or body composition can occur as the body adjusts to new hormone levels.
    • Headaches and Nausea: During the initial phase of therapy, some people may experience headaches or nausea, which usually diminish over time.
    • Breast Tenderness: This is a common side effect, particularly in the early stages of therapy, as the body adapts to changes in hormone levels.
  • Can compound medications be customized for my specific health needs as a woman?

    Yes, our compounded medications are customized to meet your specific health needs. They are formulated to match your hormone levels and dosage preferences, keeping any allergies or sensitivities in mind.

  • Are compounded hormones a safe and effective option for managing menopause symptoms?

    Compounded medications are safe and effective when prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy following strict quality and safety standards. However, their regulation can vary by region or country. It’s essential to work with a reputable compounding pharmacy that adheres to applicable regulations and quality assurance protocols to ensure the safety of compounded medications for women’s health conditions.

  • Do I need insurance to cover compounded medications for women's health?

    Insurance coverage for compounded medications varies. It’s essential to check with your insurance provider for coverage details and potential costs. Some compounding pharmacies may offer financial assistance or payment plans for their compounded medications.

  • Can compound medications help with fertility and reproductive health issues in women?

    Yes, compounded medications can assist with reproductive health challenges and fertility treatments by:

    • Correcting Hormonal Imbalances: Tailoring compounded medications to balance crucial hormones like estrogen and progesterone, enhancing ovulation and regulating menstrual cycles.
    • Stimulating Ovulation: Customizing treatments for women with ovulatory disorders, such as PCOS, to encourage ovulation and improve chances of conception.
    • Regulating Thyroid Function: Adjusting thyroid hormone levels with compounded medications to support reproductive health and fertility.
    • Supporting the Luteal Phase: Using compounded progesterone supplements to aid the post-ovulation phase, crucial for implantation and early pregnancy maintenance.
    • Improving Sperm Quality: Although focused on women’s health, certain compounded formulations can also enhance male fertility by boosting sperm motility and quality.
    • Customizing Dosages and Forms: Offering medications in various forms (e.g., creams, gels, capsules) with precise dosages tailored to individual needs, ensuring optimal absorption and patient compliance.
  • Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with compounded medications for women's health?

    Like any medication, compounded medications can carry potential side effects and risks. However, when prepared and administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider, the risks are minimized.
    Choose a reputable compounding pharmacy to ensure the quality and safety of your compounded medications.
