Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves using hormones that are molecularly identical to those naturally produced in the human body to treat hormonal imbalances and deficiencies. BHRT can alleviate unpleasant symptoms of menopause, andropause, and other hormone-related conditions to help people feel healthier and more energetic.
At Butterfly Hormone Center in Sentinel, our experienced endocrinologists specializing in female hormones offer customized bioidentical hormone therapy to help patients achieve hormone balance and wellbeing. We create individualized hormone regimens tailored to each patient's unique needs and biology.
Some of the key hormones we commonly prescribe bioidentical versions of include:
Estrogen deficiency can lead to issues like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, low libido, fatigue, memory problems, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. Bioidentical estrogen helps alleviate these symptoms.
Progesterone works synergistically with estrogen to regulate menstrual cycles and plays numerous roles in the body. Insufficient progesterone is linked to symptoms like anxiety, water retention, weight gain, and heavy periods.
In both women and men, low testosterone can cause low energy levels, muscle loss, weight gain, low motivation, erectile dysfunction, and loss of enjoyment of life. Our bioidentical testosterone replacement regimens can help.
DHEA is a precursor to sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone. DHEA deficiency is associated with low libido, energy, mood, immunity, and cognitive function. We offer customized DHEA therapy.
An underactive thyroid slows metabolism and causes tiredness, weight gain, feeling cold, hair loss, dry skin, brain fog, and more. Our bioidentical thyroid hormone therapy effectively treats hypothyroidism.
The advantages of our customized bioidentical hormone replacement plans include:
The first step is to schedule comprehensive hormone balance testing and an initial consultation with one of our bioidentical doctors near South Carolina. We will measure your levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, thyroid, and more using blood, saliva, or urine tests.
Next, our physicians will interpret your lab results and symptoms to determine which hormones you are deficient in. We will then develop a customized treatment plan involving personalized combinations and dosages of bioidentical estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid medication, and other hormones tailored to your unique biology and lifestyle goals.
Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. Large, long-term studies are still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits of bioidentical estrogen and progesterone.
Common bioidentical hormone preparations we prescribe include:
We determine optimal administration methods - oral pills, topical creams/gels, sublingual drops, pellet implants, or injections - based on your preferences and what will provide stable hormone levels.
The dosage is gradually adjusted based on follow-up lab tests and symptom monitoring until optimal balance and wellness is achieved. We carefully monitor you throughout to ensure safety.
Taking some time for relaxation and self-care can support BHRT outcomes. We recommend enjoyable local spas and salons like Azure Day Spa. The sunny climate and beaches in Sentinel also offer abundant options for fun outdoor walking, swimming, boating, golf and more to destress during treatment.
Top-rated local eateries we suggest include the vegetarian Green Life Cafe and Harbor Seafood downtown for healthy, nourishing meals during your stay. We also advise getting lab tests done at Azure Labs, which offers patients personalized care and convenient appointments.
Getting adequate high quality sleep, nutrition, and movement further helps the body best utilize bioidentical hormones. Connecting with community at local arts and entertainment events promotes mental health too.
