Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

From age to genetics to certain medications, a hormone imbalance can happen for a variety of reasons. An imbalance can lead to a full range of unfortunate symptoms, including everything from hot flashes and mood swings to low bone density and weight gain. Luckily, at Perfect Dose, we offer FDA-approved hormone pellet therapy to help you balance hormones and find the relief you deserve.

What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy?

Bioidentical hormones or bioidentical hormone replacement therapy mimics the natural hormones in your body and can provide relief from a variety of symptoms, including symptoms of menopause.

At Perfect Dose, we use pellet therapy. They are safer than synthetic hormones, compounded bioidentical hormones, and more traditional hormone therapy. The pellets consist of estrogen and/or testosterone. The right dosage of each hormone will differ depending on the symptoms you’re experiencing. And because the pellets are inserted at our office, you don’t have to do any work. Once the pellet is inserted, you just have to enjoy the benefits.

Ideal Candidates for Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

Ideal candidates for bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) are men and women struggling with hormonal imbalances. Typically, this involves low estrogen for women and low testosterone for men, but the imbalance can differ from patient to patient.

Good candidates for testosterone or menopausal hormone therapy should also be in generally good health, have realistic expectations of treatment, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. We also recommend patients don’t have a history of blood clots or gallbladder disease.

Benefits of BHT

The benefits of FDA-approved bioidentical hormones cannot be overstated. The benefits of BHT can affect so many aspects of your life and improve your overall well-being. A few of the benefits you can look forward to include the following:

Improved Libido

Men and women suffering from a hormone imbalance often struggle with low libido, which can negatively affect their self-confidence, relationships, and overall well-being. Luckily, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can boost your libido and have you feeling more like yourself again.

Relieve Symptoms

Whether you’re struggling with hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, or other menopausal symptoms, or you’re dealing with low testosterone, poor bone density, weight gain, and low libido, BHT can help you finally find some relief. By balancing the hormones in your body, your body will find its proper hormonal equilibrium, and you’ll feel good again.

Improved Sexual Wellness

Bioidentical hormones can also improve your sexual wellness as well. If you’re experiencing pain during sex, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual symptoms, the problem may be your hormones. Our team at Perfect Dose will help you get to the root of the problem.

Increased Energy Levels

Bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy can also help increase your energy levels, ensuring you get more done and feel revitalized throughout your day. But beyond energy levels, BHRT can also help you lose weight easier, better your mood, and improve your hair and skin.

BHT Treatment

The pellet therapy treatment process begins with an initial consultation. This is a vital first step so we can understand the symptoms you’re experiencing and confirm that a hormonal imbalance is the reason for your symptoms. We’ll do a standard blood test to see what your hormone levels are currently.

Once we confirm a hormonal imbalance and determine the right dose of hormones is right for you, we’ll start your pellet therapy. It’s an incredibly easy procedure. We’ll make a small incision near your hip and insert the pellet. That’s it! The procedure only takes a few minutes. We’ll numb the area beforehand to ensure you’re comfortable.

Results

After your procedure, you’ll be able to go back to your daily activities. From there, your body will do the rest of the work and start absorbing the hormones. You will want to avoid lower body exercises for the first few days so you don’t disrupt the insertion area, and avoid hot tubs, bathtubs, or swimming pools until you are fully healed.

The pellets tend to last three to six months, at which point you’ll come in to have another one inserted. You should start to feel results after a few weeks as the body absorbs the bioidentical hormones.
