What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are derived from plant sources and are chemically identical to the hormones your body naturally produces. This is different from synthetic hormones, which are designed to mimic natural hormones but are not exact replicas. For women, BHRT is often used to alleviate symptoms of menopause, as well as other hormonal imbalances.
Some key hormones that are often replaced in BHRT for women include:
Estrogen
Helps regulate the menstrual cycle, and affects the reproductive tract, urinary tract, heart, and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles, and the brain.
Progesterone
Plays a vital role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, preparing the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg.
Testosterone
Though typically considered a “male” hormone, women also produce testosterone, which plays a role in bone health, muscle mass, libido, and energy levels.
DHEA
Produced by the adrenal glands, ovaries, and brain, converts to sex hormones and declines with age. Research suggests benefits for bone density, body fat, and sexual function.
Your Hormone Replacement Therapy Journey
Initial Consultation & Evaluation
At Serrao Rejuvenation Center, Dr. Serrao offers a comprehensive initial consultation for hormone replacement therapy. This includes discussing your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Your fitness will be assessed through body composition analysis, and a VISIA skin analysis will evaluate collagen and elastin. Before beginning bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, women undergo a pelvic and breast exam to ensure their safety. Comprehensive hormonal blood work will be sent to a specialized lab; additional micronutrient testing may be recommended or requested. This thorough evaluation allows for a personalized hormone replacement therapy plan designed for your individual needs and safety.
Hormone Optimization Plan
Based on your evaluation and lab results, together, you and Dr. Serrao will develop a personalized hormone optimization plan. This may involve bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, and other complementary therapies tailored to your individual needs. Our priority is to create a BHRT treatment plan that maximizes benefits and minimizes potential risks, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcomes.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
To ensure your bioidentical hormone replacement therapy remains effective and aligned with your health goals, we provide continuous monitoring and necessary adjustments. This includes regular follow-up appointments and hormone level assessments. Through these, Dr. Serrao will monitor your progress, address any concerns, and modify your treatment plan as needed. Please contact our office if you have any questions during your hormonal replacement journey.
