Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy Q&A

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa uses supplemental hormones that are just like those your body naturally produces to increase low levels and restore hormone balance. 

Hormone imbalance can occur due to various reasons, but you don’t have to live with the bothersome symptoms it may cause.

What does bioidentical hormone replacement therapy address?

Your specialist offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to reduce the following symptoms of an imbalance:

  • Fatigue
  • Low sex drive
  • Vaginal dryness in women
  • Erectile dysfunction (ED) in men
  • Weight gain
  • Muscle loss
  • Increased body fat
  • Depression
  • Thinning hair
  • Skin changes
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Problems sleeping
  • Hot flashes

Hormone therapy may aid in weight loss and helps treat thyroid disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), high cholesterol, and imbalances of testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone.

Risk factors for hormone imbalance include aging, family history of hormone problems, unhealthy lifestyle habits, medical conditions, and certain surgeries or other medical interventions.

Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa tailors each hormone treatment to your personalized needs, enhancing your quality of life using simple (yet effective) methods.

Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy right for me?

The Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa team discusses your medical history and symptoms to determine if you’re a candidate for bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. They complete a physical exam, check your vital signs, and use a blood test to evaluate your hormone levels.

What happens during bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?

During treatment, you might receive pellets placed beneath the skin on your upper buttocks to steadily release hormones into your body over time. Every several months, your hormone specialist replaces the pellets to maintain ideal hormone levels long-term. 

Evolve MD Wellness & Aesthetics MedSpa also offers pills, gels, creams, vaginal applications, injections, patches, and other methods of achieving hormone balance. The hormone treatment that’s best for you depends on the type and severity of the hormone imbalance you have.

During the next few weeks and months, you can expect reductions in bothersome symptoms and improvements in your quality of life.
