Bioidentical Hormone Therapy FAQ

Get answers to your most common questions about Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

What is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT)?

 It’s a hormone replacement treatment using plant-derived hormones that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces — designed to relieve menopause and perimenopause symptoms safely.

BHRT at MDTW can improve:

  • Hot flashes and night sweats
  • Mood swings and brain fog
  • Weight gain and low libido
  • Fatigue and sleep disruption
  • Vaginal dryness and discomfort

 Unlike synthetic HRT, bioidentical hormones match your body’s natural structure. We use standardized, FDA-approved forms (not unregulated custom compounds) for precision and safety.

Some women feel better in just 1–2 weeks. Full benefits — like improved energy, mood, weight regulation, and intimacy — build over 1–3 months with the right dose.

 Yes — when prescribed and monitored by experienced clinicians. We track labs, adjust doses, and use the safest delivery methods to reduce risks of blood clots or hormone-sensitive cancers.

 We tailor the format to your lifestyle and goals:

  • Transdermal creams or patches
  • Oral capsules
  • Vaginal rings or inserts
  • Pellet implants (upon request)

 We start with a full evaluation of symptoms, lab results, and history. Then, we design a precise, doctor-approved protocol — no generic prescriptions or guesswork.

Yes. We often combine BHRT with GLP-1 weight loss meds, Emsella for pelvic strength, or EmFemme for intimacy and rejuvenation — all in one plan.

 No. BHRT can also help with perimenopause, PMS, low libido, postpartum changes, and even midlife weight struggles when hormone decline is a root cause.

  • Personalized dosing based on labs
  •  Local in-office care with convenient support
