Women experience a decline in hormone levels during the natural aging process that can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Women’s health services from MediSpa At Choto in Knoxville, Tennessee, include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to help you feel better by replacing the declining hormones. Call or use the online scheduling tool to learn more about how bioidentical hormones can improve your quality of life.
Bioidentical hormones are made from plant chemicals designed identically to the naturally occurring estrogen and progestin hormones in your body.
Bioidentical hormones aren’t the same as synthetic hormones and don’t carry the same risk for breast cancer, strokes, blood clots, or coronary artery disease that synthetic hormones do.
Around the age of 50, women enter menopause. Menopause is the stage of life when your ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone. The decline in hormone production causes a number of women’s health concerns that bioidentical hormones can treat, including:
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is considered safe, and you’ll be regularly monitored to ensure it’s working as it should. The experienced team at MediSpa At Choto customizes a treatment plan to restore your hormones to healthy levels and requires routine lab testing and follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
Because bioidentical hormones are designed to mimic the naturally occurring hormones in the female body, they’re considered safer and better tolerated than synthetic hormones. As you undergo bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, you commit to keeping your medical team informed of any changes you experience so you maintain the appropriate dosage levels.
Some women experience side effects when starting bioidentical hormone replacement therapy until their body adjusts to the changing hormone levels. Common side effects include:
Women may also experience bloating and weight gain when first starting bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
