BHRT
Some of the most frustrating changes of menopause and hormonal dips that come with age are inflammation, hair, and skin-related changes, hot flashes, and just not feeling as energetic as you once did. It’s a known fact that hormones normalize the balance of the body and keep all of its systems running properly. One of the most relied-on ways to reinstate balance over ever-changing hormonal levels is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Here’s everything you need to know about the treatment.

What is BHRT?
What is BHRT?
BHRT is a tried-and-true treatment that helps improve the effects of changing hormone levels. BHRT utilizes synthetic hormones that are similar to the body’s natural hormones. The treatment helps to improve hormonal imbalances and low hormone levels, helping to reinstate normalcy and balance in the body and alleviate bothersome symptoms to improve your quality of life. By restoring harmony to the body, even if just one hormone is out of balance, which can affect the body, significant improvements can be noticed.
Hormones naturally decrease with age. The most common hormonal changes include lower amounts of estrogen in women experiencing menopause and perimenopause and a decrease in testosterone in men. These changes can impact everything from weight gain to dry skin, changes in hair growth patterns, and more.
BHRT works for both men and women who experience unwanted side effects of hormone changes that occur within the body due to the natural aging process. But BHRT is not a one-size-fits-all solution, which is why the hormones and dose must be customized to fit your needs and deliver the specific hormones you lack.
Whereas other hormone replacement therapies use a bevy of different hormones, BHRT uses synthetic, plant-derived hormones that are most similar to those naturally found in the body to increase natural hormone levels. BHRT works using a lock-and-key formation, with the hormones resembling keys that interact with specific cells to unlock them and keep the body functioning smoothly and how it is designed to work. The treatment is safe and effective, and many patients see and feel a noticeable improvement.

BHRT works differently than traditional hormone replacement therapy and is said to be a more authentic alternative and safer since the hormones are closer in nature to what the body naturally produces. They can also be administered in various ways, including:
- Pills
- Patches
- Creams
- Gels
- Injections
The type of BHRT you and your provider ultimately decide on will dictate where and how it is administered to the body.
