Bioidentical Hormone Replacement
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a medical approach that involves the use of hormones that are structurally identical to those naturally produced by the human body. These bioidentical hormones, often derived from plant sources, are prescribed to address hormonal imbalances, particularly in individuals experiencing symptoms related to menopause, andropause, or other endocrine disruptions. BHRT aims to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased energy by restoring hormonal equilibrium. It is considered by some as a potentially safer and more personalized alternative to traditional hormone replacement therapies, as the treatment is tailored to an individual’s specific needs and closely monitored by healthcare professionals.
