Helping Alleviate Menopause Symptoms with BHRT

Menopause is a time in a woman’s life, about a year after her last period, marked by changing hormone levels that can cause bothersome symptoms like hot flashes and weight gain. There are steps women can take to help relieve their menopause symptoms, including taking medications or receiving bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

Balance Of Life Clinic, serving Northeast Ohio, is a clinic that takes an integrative, whole-body approach to health and wellness and offers services like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Here, we’ll discuss BHRT and how it may be suitable to help alleviate your menopause symptoms.

What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) is a type of therapy that is used to help balance and stabilize hormone levels like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in your body. If your body’s hormone levels are unbalanced or low like with menopause, you may experience uncomfortable and distracting side effects like:

• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness or painful intercourse
• Loss of energy or interest in sex
• Fatigue or problems sleeping
• Weight gain
• Mood changes
• Memory loss or confusion

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy uses processed hormones made from plants that identically mimic your body’s naturally made hormones to increase your hormone levels. This differs from traditional hormone replacement therapy that uses hormones from the urine of pregnant horses that aren’t identical to your body’s.

At Balance Of Life Clinic, we provide bioidentical hormone replacement therapy tailored to each client to treat the whole person, not just one part. Check out other improved lifestyle choices from BHRT our patients have experienced.

How Does BHRT Help Menopause Symptoms?

Bioidentical hormone therapy is a promising treatment for menopause, perimenopause, and other hormonal imbalances. It works by increasing and stabilizing the unbalanced hormone levels in your body, whether it’s estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone. Once the levels are stabilized, your body won’t react the same way and you’ll notice a reduction in symptoms.

It typically takes around three months to feel the full effects of BHRT.
