FEMALE HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY AVENTURA, FLORIDA

FOR WOMEN, GROWING OLDER OFTEN PRESENTS CHANGES TO THE WHOLE MIND AND BODY.

 

    As menopause approaches, the ovaries produce progesterone and estrogen more slowly, leading to erratic menstrual cycles before they cease entirely. As ovaries permanently stop producing these hormones, other areas of the body continue to produce estradiol, testosterone, and other hormones.

 

THESE CHEMICALS OFTEN CAUSE TROUBLING EFFECTS, INCLUDING:

•  Night sweats and hot flashes

•  Memory problems

•  Decreased motivation

•  Weight gain/slower metabolism

•  Depression

•  Insomnia

•  Diminished libido

 

    These and other symptoms occur not only in older women but in younger women after ovarian removal surgery. Regardless of the cause or time of menopause onset, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) helps you feel like yourself again.

 

HOW TESTOSTERONE HELPS WOMEN

Testosterone may seem like a “man’s hormone,” but women benefit from it as well. With a 30 percent decrease in testosterone during menopause, women experience lower metabolism, decreased muscle tone, and sexual side effects. However, testosterone supplements help women overcome vaginal dryness, regain libido, and enjoy intimate experiences once again.

 

 

 

 

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR WOMEN

 

    Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) has come a long way, leading to safe and effective procedures. When first seeking BHRT, patients receive a comprehensive consultation, including a health and longevity assessment to determine which blend of hormones will yield the best results.

 

    With modern medical technology, physicians and nurse practitioners can use your body’s unique hormone molecule structures to produce bioidentical hormones. Providers administer these treatments via a gentle injection or by mouth, incorporating them into a holistic treatment program that includes thorough consultations and consistent monitoring.

 

SHOULD I PURSUE BHRT?

    Of the countless BHRT treatment regimens available, one or more will likely serve your needs. However, other medical conditions and their treatments may interact negatively with BHRT. Therefore, full honesty and clinical integrity are crucial to BHRT practitioners as they help patients decide which course of treatment is right for them.

 

BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY FOR WOMEN

    Many female patients have reported the benefits of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women (female BHRT). Our Method of female BHRT has helped thousands of women reclaim their lives.

 

What Is Female BHRT?

     Female BHRT is an acronymic phrase that stands for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Hormone therapy for women has been a common practice to cope with aging for decades. Female hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help women who are suffering from unbalanced hormones. Bioidentical hormones delivered through BHRT pellets closely replicate the molecular structure of human hormones.

 

What Is Female Hormone Replacement Therapy?

   Our method of hormone therapy provides a consistent release of hormones. When hormones are out of balance, hormone replacement therapy for women may help relieve a wide array of symptoms, both physical and emotional. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women aims to relieve the source of the problem, not just the symptoms themselves.

 

When May Female BHRT Be Most Beneficial?

      Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women may help any woman whose hormones are out of balance. However, the most common time women seek bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is when they’re experiencing menopause. Women typically experience three stages of menopause—perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. There are also rare instances regarding women who have never had balanced hormones, often causing excessively uncomfortable menstrual cycles and extreme mood swings. Our method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for women may help address the cause of these issues.

 

What Are Female BHRT Pellets?

     Female BHRT pellets are comprised of custom-compounded hormones. These pellets are inserted subcutaneously during a quick in-office visit. Usually, within four to six weeks after the pellet insertion, the bioidentical hormone replacement therapy for a woman’s endocrine system begins to take effect. Many patients may begin to experience the benefits of the Biote Method after the second insertion. *

 

 

HORMONE BALANCE FOR WOMEN

     One of Biote’s goals is balancing hormones in women, and we have created a Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) that many patients have reported has improved their overall health and wellbeing. BHRT involves the use of hormone pellets that are inserted subcutaneously to balance female hormones.

But every woman is different, and some may require additional insertions for her body to dial in and experience the best results.  Biote providers tailor each patient’s dosing to their unique needs and hormone levels. BHRT uses bioidentical hormones, which closely mimic the hormones normally present within the body. BHRT is designed to be biologically identical to our body’s hormones.

 

 

 

What Can a Patient Expect From BHRT?

     The process for considering, obtaining, monitoring, and continuing BHRT is typically the same for all patients. A new patient will normally schedule a consultation with us . To consider the patient’s candidacy, we will request comprehensive hormone testing and lab work. The next appointment will be to review the test results and determine if the patient is a candidate. If so, they can get a BHRT pellet inserted the same day or on their next visit.

Potential Benefits of BHRT for Hysterectomy Patients

    At You & I Primary Care, Aesthetics and Wellness, we know that hysterectomies can have a drastic effect on women. We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, as a form of hormone therapy. Through BHRT therapy, women can potentially reduce the effects of a hysterectomy on their daily life.

 

What Is a Hysterectomy?

      A hysterectomy is a procedure in which a woman’s uterus is surgically removed. In premenopausal, menopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women, hysterectomies have been a common surgical option.

 

When Is a Hysterectomy Needed?

    A hysterectomy may be necessary to alleviate uterine prolapse, abnormal bleeding, gynecological cancer, chronic pelvic discomfort, uterine fibroids, and other conditions. Relieving uterine fibroids is the most typical reason for a hysterectomy. A uterine fibroid is a noncancerous growth that causes lengthened menstrual cycles as well as back discomfort. Hormone therapy may help relieve the symptoms after surgery. Contact us to learn more about our hormone therapy options for possible hysterectomy relief.

 

What Happens During a Hysterectomy?

    A hysterectomy involves the uterus, ovaries, and other adjacent organs being completely or partially removed. There are six different kinds of hysterectomy surgeries, depending on which organs are removed. Regardless of the type of hysterectomy performed, a patient will likely feel side effects from no longer being able to fully produce hormones on their own. The Biote Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may help relieve some of the post-surgery symptoms.

 

What Are the Symptoms of a Hormonal Imbalance After a Hysterectomy?

      Severe hormonal imbalance is likely after a hysterectomy. This uncomfortable transition for women can impact a woman’s physical and emotional health. After a hysterectomy, the symptoms of hormonal imbalance include hot flashes, night sweats, light bleeding and discharge, and vaginal dryness.

 

How Might BHRT Provide Effective Hysterectomy Relief?

     The side effects of a hysterectomy can affect a woman’s health, but the Biote Method of hormone replacement therapy may help lessen the negative effects. Biote’s Method of BHRT may help return your hormones to their normal levels.

 

 

Potential Benefits of BHRT for Metabolic Syndrome

     Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of abnormal heart conditions, stroke, and elevated blood sugar. Some studies show that metabolic syndrome may sometimes be caused by an imbalance in a woman’s hormones. If someone suspects a hormone imbalance is causing their metabolic syndrome, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may help provide relief.

 

What Is Metabolic Syndrome?

      Metabolic syndrome is a combination of traits that increase the likelihood of abnormal heart conditions or elevated blood sugar levels. These traits include high triglycerides, high blood pressure, and obesity. Biote’s Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, for women, may help relieve these symptoms and may restore wellbeing.

 

What Kind of Obesity Is Implicated in Metabolic Syndrome?

     Obesity stemming from metabolic syndrome (indicated by a large waist circumference) is the most common type of obesity. Hormonal imbalance, particularly in the form of excessive estrogen production, can be a large contributor to metabolic syndrome. This type of obesity can affect a woman’s physical and emotional health in numerous ways, including putting her at greater risk of an unhealthy heart. Our method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has helped numerous women restore their hormone balance and may support the treatment of obesity caused by metabolic syndrome.

 

 

 

What Are the Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome shows very few early symptoms outside of obesity. Common indicators of more advanced metabolic syndrome include high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar. If someone is displaying any of these symptoms, they should speak to us and learn about your options.

 

What Are Self-Directed Treatments for Metabolic Syndrome?

    Most lifestyle changes are ineffective at fighting metabolic syndrome. However, changes like anti-diabetic medication, quitting smoking, blood glucose monitoring, modifying diet, and physical exercise can aid in the self-care of metabolic syndrome for women. Plant-based diets have also been shown to help keep metabolic syndrome under control. But, if these aren’t enough, learning more about our method of hormone replacement therapy for women may help. The Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy our providers use may help to balance hormones and help provide relief for metabolic syndrome symptoms.

 

How Can Balanced Hormones Help Minimize the Effects of Metabolic Syndrome?

      While unbalanced hormones and metabolic syndrome can cause weight gain, BHRT may help assist patients in reducing extreme weight gain by balancing hormone levels within the body. Our Method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy may be useful for the relief of metabolic syndrome symptoms.

 

Potential Benefits of BHRT for Perimenopause

     Menopause has three separate stages (perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause), which are brought on during aging by decreasing hormone levels. Even the most common menopausal symptoms can prove difficult to manage for many women, and that’s where our method of perimenopause therapy for women comes in.

What Is Perimenopause?

    Perimenopause refers to the first stage of menopause. The symptoms include changes in the menstrual cycle, an increase in urinary tract infections (UTIs), difficulty with incontinence, low mood or mood swings, and decreased libido. While undergoing perimenopause, women can also potentially experience their hair becoming brittle, skin thinning, and a weakening of bone density. Perimenopause therapy has helped many women address these symptoms. If patients are searching for perimenopause support, consider our method of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

 

What Are the Signs of Perimenopause?

What Is Post-menopause?

    A woman is postmenopausal when she has not had her period for an entire year. Many women are relieved by the end of their hot flashes and the lessened severity of their mood swings during this time; however, several health issues can arise with lowered estrogen levels. Abnormal heart conditions and decreased bone density are among the conditions that can occur during post-menopause. Our method of hormone replacement therapy is specifically designed to address these lowered estrogen levels and provide consistent hormone replacement therapy for up to three to six months. Hormone replacement therapy doesn’t have to be stressful—our approach to post-menopause therapy for women is simple.

During and prior to menopause, women may experience changes in sex drive, headaches, difficulty concentrating, hair loss, weight gain, racing heart, a worsening of PMS, difficulty sleeping, and numerous emotional changes. While many symptoms of menopause will eventually cease, this extreme change can leave hormones unbalanced and a woman uncomfortable in her postmenopausal state.

Potential Benefits of BHRT for Thyroid Health

    The thyroid is one of the main producers of hormones. Thyroid issues can cause women’s hormones to become imbalanced. If a patient’s thyroid treatment has been ineffective or is searching for thyroid therapy for the first time, consider trying our method of hormone therapy.

 

What Is the Thyroid?

    The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in our neck that regulates numerous metabolic processes in the body. The structure and function of the thyroid can change due to thyroid disorders. These disorders can be either acute or chronic, but the symptoms of both may be relieved with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy or BHRT.

 

 

What Are the Different Kinds of Thyroid Disorders?

There are a wide variety of thyroid disorders. These may include:

Thyroid cancer*

Thyroid nodules*

Goiters*

Hyperthyroidism*

Hypothyroidism*

The most common thyroid issue is hypothyroidism, a condition causing the thyroid to produce a deficient amount of hormones. This can stem from problems in any part of the thyroid feedback loop, including the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and the thyroid gland itself.

 

What Are the Signs of a Thyroid Issue?
