Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances may manifest in numerous ways, varying with the affected hormones and the severity of the imbalance. Common symptoms include:

Irregular or heavy periods
– Mood swings and irritability
– Fatigue and low energy
– Weight gain or difficulty losing weight
– Hot flashes and night sweats
– Low sex drive
– Hair loss or thinning
– Acne or skin problems
– Insomnia or difficulty sleeping

Remember, these symptoms can also be triggered by other factors, so it’s crucial to consult your healthcare provider to identify the root cause. If you suspect a hormonal imbalance, your healthcare provider may recommend testing your hormone levels and considering BHRT as a treatment option.

Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones

Hormone replacement therapy offers two types of hormones: bioidentical and synthetic. Bioidentical hormones, derived from natural sources like plants, have a molecular structure identical to human-produced hormones, while synthetic ones, commercially produced, are chemically derived. Bioidentical hormones are usually compounded for each individual, unlike synthetic hormones that come in standard doses. BHRTs are believed to cause fewer side effects with better health outcomes.

BHRT: Treating a Variety of Issues

Bioidentical hormones can address various symptoms related to hormonal imbalances, including:

– Hot flashes and night sweats
– Mood swings and irritability
– Low libido and sexual dysfunction
– Fatigue and low energy levels
– Weight gain and difficulty losing weight
– Insomnia and sleep disturbances
– Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
– Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex

They can also help prevent age-related conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease. However, BHRT isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution and may not suit everyone. It’s vital to discuss your symptoms and medical history with us to determine if BHRT is the right choice for you.
