Pittsburgh Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
Restoring hormones to optimal levels for men and women
WHAT IS BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a safe and effective way to replace the body’s own natural hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone).
As we age, hormone levels decline or become unbalanced. When hormones are not balanced, it can have a major impact on your health and well-being.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy may help relieve the symptoms of menopause in women and andropause in men.
Bioidentical hormones are man-made hormones derived from plant estrogens that are chemically identical to those produced by the human body with little or no side effects.
WHAT ROLE DO HORMONES PLAY IN THE BODY?
Hormones are extremely important in controlling most of our bodily functions. They serve as an internal communication system between cells throughout the body coordinating everything from digestion, growth, appetite, immune function, mood and libido.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy can be used to treat both men and women when their hormone levels drop or become unbalanced by raising their hormones to optimal levels.
WHAT TYPES OF BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY ARE AVAILABLE?
There are various forms of bioidentical hormone replacement therapies including capsules, creams, gels, injections, patches, and hormone pellets.
Regenerative Medicine Center Pittsburgh will tailor your bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to what works best for your needs and lifestyle.
