Estrogen bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an alternative to Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) which uses bioidentical hormones to treat hormonal conditions. We take a personalized approach, providing treatments tailored to you and your needs – because there is no such thing as a ‘one-size fits all’ approach to menopause treatments.
Estrogen hormone replacement therapy for menopause symptoms helps restore your hormone levels which help in improving most menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, night sweats, dryness of the vagina and reduced sex drive. HRT can also protect against osteoporosis. For some lucky women the symptoms of menopause are mild and go away on their own, not requiring HRT.
- Virtual and in-person consultations offered
Estrogen hormone replacement therapy (HRT) effectively reduces many of the unpleasant effects of symptoms of the menopause.
- HRT is a hormone replacement therapy. It is not a ‘drug’.
- The aim is to replace the hormones that your body once produced.
- The hormones we use are “bio-identical” – these are the safest to use and have the lowest risk of side effects.
- We offer patch, spray, self-inject, pill, and gel treatments
Signs and Symptoms of Menopause:
- Hot flushes. As your estrogen level drops, your blood vessels may expand rapidly, causing your skin temperature to rise.
- Decreased fertility. When ovulation begins to fluctuate, you’re less likely to become pregnant. Until you haven’t had a period for a year, however, pregnancy is still possible.
- Vaginal changes. As your estrogen level declines, the tissues lining your vagina and urethra — the opening to your bladder — become drier, thinner and less elastic. With decreased lubrication you may experience burning or itching, along with increased infections of the urinary tract or vagina. These changes may make sexual intercourse uncomfortable or even painful
- Sleep disturbances and night sweats. Night sweats are often a consequence of hot flushes. You may awaken from a sound sleep with soaking night sweats followed by chills. You may have difficulty falling back to sleep or achieving a deep, restful sleep.
- Changes in appearance. After menopause, the fat that once was concentrated in your hips and thighs may settle above your waist and in your abdomen.
- You may notice a loss of fullness in your breasts, thinning hair and wrinkles in your skin.
- Emotional changes. As you go through menopause, you may experience mood swings, be more irritable or be more prone to emotional upset.
Women sometimes experience several of these menopause symptoms as well:
- Aches and pains
- Crawling or itching sensations under the skin
- Forgetfulness
- Headaches
- Irritability
- Lack of self-esteem
- Reduced sex drive (libido)
- Tiredness
- Urinary frequency
