What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?

BHRT may be considered for people experiencing hormone-related symptoms associated with menopause, andropause, aging-related hormone changes, or other hormone-related concerns.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a form of hormone replacement therapy that uses hormones designed to be structurally identical to hormones naturally produced by the body.

BHRT may be considered as part of care for hormone-related symptoms that can occur during aging, menopause, andropause, or other hormone-related concerns. The hormones commonly involved in BHRT include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
These hormones are involved in many physiological functions, and hormone changes may contribute to symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes, fatigue, or libido changes.

Bailey Health offers individualized care plans to assess hormone-related concerns and discuss hormone-care options that can be tailored to your health needs and goals.

Based on your assessment and health needs, hormone therapy may be discussed as one option to help provide relief from symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness, fatigue, or libido changes.

Supporting Quality of Life

This program also highlights the importance of the mind-body connection in overall well-being. It involves integrating mindfulness and relaxation techniques into your daily routine, and addressing the psychological aspects of physical health.

Hormone changes can affect bone health and other health factors. For some patients, hormone therapy may be discussed as part of a broader care plan that considers bone health, heart-health risk factors, symptoms, health history, and individual treatment goals.
