Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)
At Peninsula Plastic Surgery in Berlin, MD, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a hormonal replacement therapy that improves women’s and men’s quality of life by restoring hormonal balance and reversing hormonal decline. Hormone production naturally decreases with age, resulting in fatigue, mood changes, low libido, and weight gain. BHRT replenishes these vital hormones, providing a natural and tailored solution for long-term wellness.
BHRT uses hormones that are chemically similar to those produced by the body, allowing for increased absorption and less side effects than synthetic alternatives. A treatment like this is especially helpful for women who are experiencing perimenopause or menopause, and for men over 50 who may have declining testosterone levels related to aging.
Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy
- Vaginal Health: Helps reduce vaginal dryness, irritation, and discomfort, while improving elasticity and reversing vaginal atrophy.
- Sleep: Eases night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia, promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
- Sexual Health: Enhances libido and overall sexual satisfaction for both women and men.
- Bladder Function: Strengthens bladder muscles, reducing urinary tract infections and the risk of incontinence.
- Weight Management: Helps counteract hormone-related weight gain and supports healthy weight loss.
- Hot Flashes: Reduces the frequency and severity of hot flashes and night sweats, a major source of discomfort for many menopausal women.
- Mood Stability: Alleviates depression and irritability by balancing mood-regulating hormones.
- Cognitive Health: Improves focus, memory, and concentration, while research suggests estrogen may lower the long-term risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
- Skin and Anti-Aging: Increases collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity, moisture, and thickness to reduce wrinkles and sagging.
- Heart Health: Supports cardiovascular wellness and may reduce the risk of heart disease when using micronized progesterone rather than older synthetic forms.
- Muscle and Joint Support: Maintains lean muscle mass and reduces aches, stiffness, and fatigue.
- Migraine Relief: Can lessen the frequency and intensity of hormone-related migraines.
- Bone Strength: Prevents bone density loss during menopause and significantly reduces the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
- Overall Wellness: Promotes long-term disease prevention and enhances overall quality of life.
Candidates for BHRT
Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women seeking relief from hormonal imbalance
Men over 50 with symptoms of low testosterone who are not planning to have additional children
Every patient considering BHRT begins with a detailed consultation with one of our wellness providers. During this visit, your medical history, symptoms, and goals are reviewed to determine if you’re a suitable candidate. If BHRT is right for you, initial lab work will be ordered to measure hormone levels.
Once your provider reviews your lab results, a personalized care plan is created. Your prescription medications are then customized and mailed directly to your home for convenience.
Follow-up visits are an essential part of your BHRT journey. You’ll meet with your provider monthly for the first three months to monitor progress and adjust dosages as needed. After this initial phase, follow-ups occur every three months for six months, then every six months to maintain optimal balance and results.
Our BHRT program is membership-based, costing $150 per month during the first year, with additional fees for lab work and prescribed medications. This approach ensures consistent support, monitoring, and continued success with your treatment.
