Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) involves supplementing hormones that decline naturally with age to maintain optimal levels. Many experience hormonal changes leading to undesirable symptoms that negatively impact quality of life. Properly administered BHRT can provide immense benefits countering deficiencies.
At Balance & Renew Clinic in Scappoose we specialize in BHRT, using bioidentical hormones identical in structure to those naturally produced. Treatment is customized based on symptoms and test results. Read below on common hormone deficiencies, aspects of therapy, and why timely treatment is crucial for restoring wellbeing.
Several key hormones often require supplementation for optimal functioning. Common deficiencies include:
Estrogen regulates various reproductive processes in women. Deficiencies manifest as:
Estrogen replacement alleviates these issues, also benefiting heart, brain, and skin health.
Progesterone plays essential reproductive roles, while influencing bone, blood sugar and more. Symptoms of low progesterone encompass:
Progesterone therapy counters these problems and protects endometrial health.
Testosterone holds crucial functions in both men and women regarding metabolism, libido, cognition and additional areas. Declining testosterone induces:

Balance & Renew Clinic utilizes multiple delivery methods for bioidentical hormone replacement tailored to each patient's needs:
Oral hormones like pills, capsules and sublingual forms offer ease of use for many. However, oral delivery interacts extensively with digestive processes and the liver, which can hinder absorption. This method requires higher doses and more frequent administration.
Gels, creams and sprays administer hormones through skin contact. Avoiding digestive interaction enhances absorption. However, inconsistent doses can occur with poor application or variable skin contact. Usage requires caution to prevent transfer to others via skin.
Administering bioidentical hormones via injection - typically intramuscularly into large muscles - allows precise dosing and avoids digestive/liver processing. This enables smaller doses, less frequent administration and consistent circulation. Some dislike injecting regularly.
Subdermal hormone pellet implants place bioidentical hormones under the skin steadily releasing consistent doses over months without needing administration. This achieves highly efficient absorption but requires minor insertion and removal procedures.
Professionals at Balance & Renew Clinic guide patients through advantages and disadvantages of each method to create custom therapies optimizing results.
Allowing hormone levels to remain suboptimal for prolonged periods risks developing preventable diseases and worsening of deficiency symptoms. Benefits of early detection and treatment through BHRT include:
Additionally, the earlier hormone deficiencies get addressed, the easier reversing associated aspects proves. Restoring optimal hormonal balance facilitates proper metabolic processes that maintain wellness.

Bioidentical hormones are not necessarily safer or more effective than synthetic hormones for menopausal symptoms. However, some women report preferring them because they more closely mimic the body's natural hormones. More research is still needed to fully understand the risks and benefits compared to traditional hormone therapy.
