Estrogen therapy is commonly prescribed to relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, dry skin, decreased bone density, and sleep disturbances. In certain patients, estrogen therapy may also contribute to a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer. Maintaining balanced estrogen levels can significantly improve a woman’s quality of life during perimenopause and menopause.
-
Often misunderstood as a male-only hormone, testosterone also plays a vital role in female health. Low testosterone in women can result in chronic fatigue, reduced libido, loss of lean muscle mass, increased body fat, insomnia, and low mood or depression. Restoring testosterone to optimal levels may help improve energy, body composition, mental clarity, and sexual health in women undergoing BHRT.
-
Progesterone is primarily used to counterbalance estrogen therapy, helping to protect the uterus from conditions such as endometrial hyperplasia. It also offers additional benefits, including improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and enhanced emotional stability, particularly during the transition into menopause.
-
Produced by the pituitary gland, Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are key regulators of reproductive health. These hormones control the release of estrogen and progesterone and are used in BHRT assessments to help determine menopausal status and overall hormonal balance. Their levels offer important insight into the functioning of the ovaries and overall endocrine health.

Is BHRT Right for You?
BHRT can benefit individuals experiencing hormone imbalances at various life stages, particularly during menopause. Symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue can significantly impact your quality of life. Our goal is to help you alleviate these symptoms and restore your health.
Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstrual cycles, which occurs when hormones stop being produced by a woman's body. The transition to menopause is termed perimenopause or premenopause, and may last for many years. Symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, insomnia, mood swings, low sex drive, vaginal dryness, fat gain and loss of muscle. BHRT involves replacing these hormones that the body stops producing to alleviate these symptoms.
