Hormone Therapy
Hormone therapy is a vital part of medicine. It can improve the quality of life for people with a whole host of conditions, from diabetes to menopause.
Hormone therapy is a treatment that uses synthetic hormones to replace missing or low levels of hormones in the body. It can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including menopause, infertility, and sexual dysfunction. Hormone therapy can be taken as a pill, patch, gel, implanted pellet, or injection. It is also sometimes used as a cream or suppository.
Side effects of hormone therapy can include weight gain, headaches, and mood swings. However, these side effects are usually mild and go away after a few weeks of treatment. Hormone therapy is a safe and effective way to treat hormonal imbalances. It can relieve symptoms and help restore hormone levels to normal.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement
Hormone replacement therapy has been around for decades, but in recent years, a new type of therapy has been gaining popularity: bio-identical hormone replacement (BHRT). Bio-identical hormones are identical in structure to the hormones produced by the human body. This means that they are better able to bind to receptors and produce the desired effect.
Additionally, bio-identical hormones can be custom-made to match each individual's hormone levels, making them more effective than traditional hormone replacement therapies. Bio-identical hormone replacement has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including menopause, PMS, and adrenal fatigue. If you're looking for a more effective way to treat your hormonal imbalances, bio-identical hormone replacement may be right for you.
At Welim Azinge, M.D. Inc, we're proud to offer the highly successful and popular Biote subcutaneous hormone pellet therapy, which contains bio-identical hormones.
Benefits of BHRT
Benefits of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy:
- It is a natural way to supplement your hormones.
- It can help with a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, weight gain, and low libido.
- It can help decrease your risk of diseases such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and heart disease.
- It can help improve your sleep quality and cognitive function.
- It can give you more energy and vitality.
- It can help you to feel younger and more youthful.
How Is BHRT Taken?
There are different ways to take bio-identical hormone replacement. Each has its advantages. The best method for taking bio-identical hormone replacement will vary depending on the individual's needs and preferences. Common BHRT methods include:
- Creams, Patches and Gels: These topical applications are placed on the skin, which allows hormones to be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream.
- Pills: Bio-identical hormones can be taken orally, in pill form, on a daily basis.
- Subcutaneous Pellets: Tiny pellets, no bigger than a grain of rice, are injected just under the skin at the hip area. These pellets release a continuous stream of just the right amount of your deficient hormones for months afterward.
More About the Biote Pellets
Many of our patients tell us they prefer the Biote implanted pellet method because, after a single in-office administration, the pellets can last for up to 6 months. There is nothing to remember to do on a daily basis – it's more of a "set it and forget it" type of hormone replacement therapy. The pellets also allow our patients to avoid the ups and downs of too much hormone, followed by too little hormone, that can occur with topical applications, or when a daily pill is skipped. Biote implantable BHRT pellets are designed to be safely absorbed into the body after the hormone has run out. At this point, patients simply come back into our office for another quick and painless injection of these effective hormone pellets.
