Restore your health and wellbeing with the help of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

During our teen years, our hormones were often to blame for those infamous mood swings and emotional highs and lows; however, as we age we also experience changes in hormone fluctuations that can affect everything from our physical to our mental and psychological health. When this happens, our Trophy Club, TX, family physicians Dr. David Yi and Dr. Paula Lansford-Seabaugh can help rebalance those hormone levels with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

What is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)?

Chances are good that you’ve heard of hormone replacement therapy. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy simply means that our Trophy Club, TX, physicians provide you with plant-based estrogens that are chemically identical to the hormones our bodies naturally produce. This means that BHRT is less likely to cause adverse side effects than traditional hormone replacement therapy.

Who can benefit from BHRT?

When we think of hormone replacement therapy, we often think of women who are entering menopause. After all, they usually turn to BHRT to treat hot flashes and night sweats. While BHRT can be used to alleviate these unpleasant symptoms of menopause that are caused by a decline in estrogen and progesterone, this therapy can also be used to help men with declining testosterone levels.

BHRT can be effective for managing more severe menopause symptoms such as,

• Weight gain
• Night sweats and hot flashes
• Mood swings
• Memory loss and “brain fog”
• Insomnia and other sleep problems
• Painful sex
• Vaginal dryness
• Decreased sex drive

How is BHRT administered?

There are many ways to deliver BHRT, and this is something that you and our medical team can discuss to determine the type of BHRT that is right for you. BHRT can be administered through topical creams and gels, dermal patches, injections, and transdermal pellets.

Along with treating imbalanced testosterone levels in men and women, as well as perimenopause and menopause, BHRT can also be used to treat thyroid disorders, osteoporosis, and fibromyalgia.

If you are living in Trophy Club, TX, and you’re experiencing the signs of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone decline, then you may benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Call Trophy Club Family Medicine at (817) 430-9111.
