BHRT stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy which refers to how molecularly similar the hormone is to the hormone in the human body. As we age, the ovaries production of estrogen and testosterone declines as women transition into menopause causing a myriad of symptoms. These vary from person to person and can range from moderate to severe.
The transition time leading up to menopause is known as perimenopause. Perimenopause may last between 7 to 14 years. Menopause is a point in time when it has been 12 months since the last menstrual period.
Tonya Harper, NP-C, Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, can help create an individualized plan to optimize hormone levels. This can help promote overall health and sense of well-being.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with pellets may help decrease troubling side effects due to declining hormone levels. Pellet therapy uses tiny hormone pellets which contain an individually customized dose of bioidentical testosterone or estrogen. The pellets are slowly absorbed by the body providing a steady stream of hormone replacement. BHRT pellets are inserted subcutaneously, and are made from custom compounded hormones.
Most women receiving bioidentical hormone replacement therapy will have relief from their symptoms as soon as four weeks. For full optimization to be realized, it may take up to six months of therapy.
If you are interested in the use of bioidentical hormone pellet therapy, the first step is to schedule an initial consultation with nurse practitioner, Tonya Harper NP-C. Your candidacy for BHRT will be determined by your medical history, symptoms, and review of current lab results.
