REJUVENATE WITH BIOIDENTICAL HORMONES
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, also known as bioidentical hormone therapy or natural hormone therapy, is the use of hormones that are identical on a molecular level to endogenous hormones in hormone replacement
Bioidentical hormones are processed hormones designed to mimic the hormones made by your body’s glands. Taking bioidentical hormones can help people who experience symptoms of low or unbalanced hormones. This is often the case for people experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause.
As we age, hormone production slowly declines, making us feel different than we did in our youth.
But the patient can restore hormonal levels and balance to reverse these annoying symptoms and delay the effects of aging.
By using natural hormones that are extracted from plants, and are identical to those produced by our body.
The levels of certain hormones in the human body go down with age. These hormones include estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Some common effects of low hormones include:
- Hot flashes.
- Night sweats.
- Vaginal dryness.
- Loss of interest in sex or painful intercourse.
- Problems sleeping.
- Loss of energy or fatigue.
- Weight gain.
- Mood changes.
- Memory loss or confusion.
Replacing these lost or low hormones is the goal of bioidentical hormone therapy or conventional hormone therapy. Once hormone levels are increased, most people see their symptoms improve. However, there is not much evidence to support that bioidentical hormones are equal to conventional hormone therapy. Your healthcare provider can discuss your options for hormone replacement with you based on your symptoms and health history.
WHAT ARE PELLETS IN BIOIDENTICAL HORMONAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Pellets are compounds that are made of organic plant materials, they have the exact molecular structure of the hormones found in the body. The size is that of a cooked rice. It is applied through a simple procedure, inserted under the skin, in the upper gluteal area.
Pellets release small amounts of hormones (as needed by the patient according to their hormonal profile) directly into the bloodstream, similar to what the ovaries and testicles produce during our youth (25-30 years)
Medical literature has shown that pellets deliver a constant level of hormones in the bloodstream, avoiding fluctuations. In women, hormonal replacement with pellets lasts 4 months; in men, 6 months.
BIOIDENTICAL CREAMS AND HYDROGEL FOR HORMONAL REPLACEMENT
Another method used in hormone replacement is creams.
Bioidentical hormones are natural compounds, based on ingredients such as soy and yam (wild sweet potato) that have the same structure and molecular weight as human hormones.
Each cream lasts approximately 2 months and the number and type of hormonal cream depends on what the patient requires, this with the objective not of bringing them to the “normal” range of their age, but to the age range when the patient was 25 to 30 years old. The objective is to return the body to the hormonal balance it had in youth.
The most beneficial bioidentical hormone replacement method for each patient will be determined by Dr. Juan Ramon Florez, once the evaluation process, medical history and laboratory results (hormonal profile) have been completed, to take into consideration the needs of each patient.
The good news is therapy is available at affordable prices in Merida, Yucatan
