Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is an effective treatment to relieve symptoms of hormone imbalance and improve quality of life. Second Spring Hormone Clinic in Huntington Park provides customized BHRT to help patients feel their best.
Bioidentical hormones are identical in molecular structure to the hormones naturally produced in the human body. They are derived from plant sources and custom-compounded in a lab to match a patient's hormonal needs.
Common bioidentical hormones prescribed include:
Unlike synthetic hormones, bioidenticals are biochemically equivalent to our native hormones, interacting more efficiently with cellular receptors. This generally results in improved effectiveness and fewer side effects.
Key Takeaway: Bioidentical hormones have the same structure as the body's own hormones, providing enhanced benefits and safety.
Imbalances in hormones like estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol can negatively impact many aspects of health. Common symptoms include:
Long term risks include heart disease, osteoporosis, and dementia.
Risks include obesity, diabetes, heart attack, and stroke.
Left untreated, hypothyroidism increases cholesterol levels and cardiovascular risks.
The takeaway: Hormone imbalances cause disruptive symptoms in the short term and increase risks of serious health conditions long term. Seeking treatment is important.
The first step in BHRT is diagnosing hormone deficiencies through blood tests and evaluating symptoms. Second Spring Hormone Clinic physicians are hormone experts, using test results and considerable experience to determine optimal treatment plans.
We evaluate estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid hormones (T3 & T4), DHEA, and cortisol. Getting a baseline through testing is crucial for developing customized therapies. Ongoing testing also helps monitor patient progress.
Key Takeaway: Accurate hormone testing and assessments from specialty physicians lay the groundwork for bioidentical therapy.
Once deficiencies are identified, we develop customized prescriptions meeting each patient’s needs. Second Spring Hormone Clinic works with a high-quality FDA-approved compounding pharmacy to prepare bioidentical hormone preparations tailored to the patient.
Compounded hormones are available in many forms including:
Dosages, combinations of hormones, and delivery methods are tailored for optimal restoration, symptom relief, and safety for each individual.
Key Takeaway: Compounded bioidentical hormones are fully customized based on testing and evaluations for enhanced effectiveness.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Plant-derived bioidentical estradiol and progesterone have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally made by the ovaries, but evidence on their long-term safety and efficacy compared to synthetic versions is still limited.
Relieving uncomfortable symptoms is an immediate benefit motivating many to seek BHRT. Restoring hormonal balance also provides many health advantages:
