Bioidentical hormones are structurally identical versions of the hormones that are naturally produced in the human body. As we age, our hormone levels often decline, leading to unpleasant symptoms. Replacing these declining hormones with bioidentical versions can provide immense benefits and restore wellbeing.
At Renew Medical HRT Clinic in Severna Park, we specialize in customized bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). We create personalized treatments tailored to your unique hormonal needs so you can feel your best.
Physical and emotional symptoms can indicate your hormones are out of balance. Understanding these signs can help identify if BHRT is right for you.
Typical symptoms of low hormone levels in both men and women include:
Women going through perimenopause or menopause may also experience:
Men undergoing andropause may notice:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, bioidentical hormones may help!
Identifying a true hormone deficiency requires specialized blood tests. At Renew Medical HRT Clinic, we provide comprehensive lab testing to measure your levels of key hormones like:
- Low testosterone affects both men and women - Impacts sex drive, energy, strength, and cognition
- Declines during perimenopause and menopause - Relieves hot flashes, vaginal issues, mood swings
- Works synergistically with estrogen - Regulates menstrual cycle and supports pregnancy
- Controls metabolism and energy levels - Deficiency causes weight gain, fatigue, and more
Once we analyze your hormone lab results, our physicians can determine if bioidentical therapy is suitable. We will also check for nutrient deficiencies that may contribute to symptoms.
Balancing your hormones with customized bioidenticals provides advantages over synthetic options:
- Identical to hormones made in the human body - More familiar and comfortable for the body to utilize
- Fully customized doses, delivery methods - Treats root hormonal causes of your symptoms
- Hormone levels normalize over weeks/months - Enhances mood, sleep, sex drive first - Later improves energy, strength, weight, and more
- Experts monitor progress and adjust dosing - Addresses hormone changes due to aging - Allows flexibility if health conditions emerge
- More than just symptom relief - Restores optimal physical, mental and emotional health
BHRT gets your hormones back in sync so you feel balanced and energized again!
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Plant-derived bioidentical estrogens and progesterone have a chemical structure identical to the hormones naturally made by the ovaries, but there is limited evidence on their long-term safety and efficacy compared to traditional hormone therapy.
