Hormones

Bioidentical hormones BH are made from plants sources like soy or yam root extract, and produced in the laboratory. They have the same structure as our body’s own hormones and therefore trigger the same effects on the cells, mimicking natural hormones. Women with low levels of estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEAS and other hormones who experience unpleasant symptoms associated with hormonal imbalance The BH are formulase into various dosage forms, such as creams, gels, patsches, capsules or pellets. Hormone pellets are small, 4 mm sized materials made up of various hormones, including combinations of estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, pregnenolone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), or others. The hormones present in pellets mimic natural hormones present in the human body Pellet therapy can reduce the symptoms of hormonal imbalance, offering the following benefits: Reduced body fat master metabolism Increased muscle mass and strength Less vaginal dryness in women higher libido Less pain with intercourse easier weight loss Reduced erectile dysfunction (ED) in men Fewer night sweats Better sleep quality More energy Fewer mood swings reducen hoy flashes Reduced confusion or brain fog less depression Thicker hair I may provide relief from menopaual symptomes . Most of the health consequences of hormone deficiency are complaints such as premenopause: irregular cycles or absence of menstruation, dry mucous membranes, (vagina) , spotting before menstruation, mood chandes, water retention in the hands, weight gain, and during menopause such as sleep problems, hot flashes, tendency to high blood pressure, risk of heart attack, arteriosclerosis, etc., depression, anxiety, tantrums, cardiac arrhythmias, reduced libido, dryness of the genital area with pain during sex and therefore little desire for sex. In addition to pain, there are frequent bladder and vaginal infections. Unfortunately, in patients for whom hormonal treatments are contraindicated, such as after breast or endometrial cancer, liver disease, migraines with auras, heart disease,stroke or blood clotting disorders. vaginal laser treatment improves genital health, reduces dryness, making it possible to have painless sex and decreases the chances of vaginal or urinary infections, and increases lubrication, thus improving sexual life in general. The administration method may be: -Hormone pellet therapy: requires pellet insertion every few monts, and are more convenient with higher adherente rates compared with other forms of HRT The pellet insertion process is more invasive than many other HRT methods, requiring a minor surgical procedure. A provider must make a tiny incision in a patient’s upper buttocks or hips. They first numb the area, insert the hormone pellets, and close the incision using medical tape. While pellet insertion is a minor procedure, it’s more invasive than taking a pill or receiving a patch or shot. It is necessary to monitor hormone levels and remote or realce hormone pellets as needed -Patches: worn on the skin. They have to be replace weekly o twice a week -Creams, geos, sprays: its needs to apply to the skin daily or several times weekly -Pills: requires daily use The important hormones that are examined and replaced accordingly are: -PROGESTERONE. It is the first hormone that is produced in small quantities after the age of 40. It is very important for pregnancy because it changes and prepares the mucous membrane of the uterus so that the embryo can implant. Progesterone also works on the breast, lungs, blood vessels (lowers blood pressure), skin, bones (helps build bone tissue) and brain Progesterone plays an important role in menopause by helping to balance estrogen levels in the body. During menopause, the ovaries stop producing eggs and the production of hormones, including progesterone, decreases. Progesterone hormone replacement therapy can help relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. It can also help prevent thickening of the lining of the uterus, which can increase the risk of endometrial cancer in women who still have a uterus. -OESTRADIOL It is a natural estrogen and works by dilating the blood vessels, thus protecting against high blood pressure and improving blood circulation. Estrogen deficiency leads to dryness of the mucous membranes, mainly in the genital area, and this leads to more frequent vaginal and bladder infections. The skin becomes looser and wrinkles appear. Patients often complain of joint pain (hands, knees, …), rheumatism, inflammation of the joints. Nervousness, hot flashes, sleep disorders, depression, lack of concentration, thinking and memory ability are significantly improved by the administration of natural estrogens. – DHEA DHEA is a hormone whose production decreases after the age of 35 and is mainly produced in the adrenal gland. A lack of this hormone is associated with a reduced effectiveness of the immune system, difficulty concentrating, tiredness or listlessness, dementia, sleep disorders, changes in the blood vessels and therefore the possibility of increased blood pressure, etc. -TESTOSTERONE Testosterone is a hormone that, although present in larger quantities in men, is nevertheless very important for women, as there are many receptors in the muscle, bone and genital area that improve sexuality. For this reason, testosterone increases libido, protects against heart disease, protects muscles (in general and the heart in particular), protects bones from loss of mass or osteoporosis, increases the calorie consumption of muscles, which prevents them from gaining weight. Therapy with bioidentical hormone therapy can be prepared individually in the pharmacy and administered in capsule form where absorption occurs through the gastrointestinal-liver-intestinal tract -transdermal, through the skin such as cream, gel, patch, -vaginal therapy -subdermal therapy under the skin, so-called pellet. This is brewed under the skin and has an effect for 3-4 months.
