Who can benefit from bioidentical hormone therapy?

Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) can benefit individuals experiencing hormonal imbalances due to menopause, perimenopause, andropause, or certain medical conditions affecting hormone production. It is also helpful for those with symptoms like low energy, mood changes, weight fluctuations, or decreased sexual function. A healthcare provider can determine if BHT is suitable based on individual symptoms and medical history.

What to Expect

The pellet therapy treatment process begins with an initial consultation. This is a vital first step so we can understand the symptoms you’re experiencing and confirm that a hormonal imbalance is the reason for your symptoms. We’ll do a standard blood test to see what your hormone levels are currently.

Once we confirm a hormonal imbalance and determine the right dose of hormones is right for you, we’ll start your pellet therapy. It’s an incredibly easy procedure. We’ll make a small incision near your hip and insert the pellet. That’s it! The procedure only takes a few minutes. We’ll numb the area beforehand to ensure you’re comfortable.

BHT Benefits

The benefits of FDA-approved bioidentical hormones cannot be overstated. The benefits of BHT can affect so many aspects of your life and improve your overall well-being. A few of the benefits you can look forward to include the following:

Improved Libido

Men and women suffering from a hormone imbalance often struggle with low libido, which can negatively affect their self-confidence, relationships, and overall well-being. Luckily, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can boost your libido and have you feeling more like yourself again.

Relieve Symptoms

Whether you’re struggling with hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, or other menopausal symptoms, or you’re dealing with low testosterone, poor bone density, weight gain, and low libido, BHT can help you finally find some relief. By balancing the hormones in your body, your body will find its proper hormonal equilibrium, and you’ll feel good again.

Improved Sexual Wellness

Bioidentical hormones can also improve your sexual wellness as well. If you’re experiencing pain during sex, vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, or other sexual symptoms, the problem may be your hormones. Our team at Perfect Dose will help you get to the root of the problem.

Increased Energy Levels

Bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy can also help increase your energy levels, ensuring you get more done and feel revitalized throughout your day. But beyond energy levels, BHRT can also help you lose weight easier, better your mood, and improve your hair and skin.

Am I A Good Candidate for BHT?

Ideal candidates for bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) are men and women struggling with hormonal imbalances. Typically, this involves low estrogen for women and low testosterone for men, but the imbalance can differ from patient to patient.

Good candidates for testosterone or menopausal hormone therapy should also be in generally good health, have realistic expectations of treatment, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. We also recommend patients don’t have a history of blood clots or gallbladder disease.

How to Prepare for BHT

Getting ready for your bioidentical hormone therapy is straightforward, but a few simple steps can help ensure the most effective results. You’ll need to complete bloodwork so we can determine your hormone levels and personalize your treatment plan accurately. It’s also important to review any current medications or supplements with your provider, as some may interact with hormone therapy. 

Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen) for at least 24 hours before your procedure to minimize bruising. After your pellet insertion, we recommend avoiding strenuous lower body exercise, swimming, or hot tubs for a few days to allow the area to heal properly.
