Hormone replacement treatment with bioidentical hormones The use of additional dosages of hormones that have a chemical structure that is similar to the hormones that are naturally produced by the human body is what is known as bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

The symptoms of menopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause can all be treated with this medication.

If bioidentical hormones are acquired from a compounding pharmacy, the pharmacist there will mix up a cocktail of hormones that is specifically formulated for the patient in question. These hormones may be obtained in a variety of predetermined dosages if one goes to a traditional pharmacy to make their purchase. In both cases, the prescriptions are determined by the results of a battery of tests that were carried out by a physician. Soybeans and wild yams, both of which contain unique compounds, are used to make a significant portion of the bioidentical hormones that are used. These compounds, after undergoing chemical processing, are transformed into hormones that are chemically identical to those that the body naturally produces. In addition to their capacity to efficiently extract components and transform them into precise duplicates of human hormones, they are utilized because of the low cost at which they may be produced.

Static dosage is when hormone levels are estimated and a patient is administered the same quantity of estradiol every day of the month. This is done after a doctor has determined that a patient is experiencing a hormonal decrease and after the patient has been given a prescription for estradiol. A constant dosage of progesterone would be prescribed by a doctor from day 18 through day 28 in order to simulate what the body had previously produced.

A cream, a suppository, oral medication, or an injection are the most common ways to provide bioidentical hormones.
