What isbHRT?
BHRT stands for Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. It is a type of hormone replacement therapy that involves the use of hormones that are chemically identical to those naturally produced by the human body. Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources, such as yams or soy, and are compounded or synthesized to match the molecular structure of hormones produced in the body.
BHRT is often prescribed to relieve symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances or deficiencies, such as menopause, perimenopause, and andropause. Common symptoms of hormonal imbalance may include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, and cognitive changes.
