What Is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is a treatment used to balance hormones in both men and women as they get older. As our bodies age, the production of hormones like testosterone and estrogen naturally decreases, leading to various health issues and symptoms.



BHRT uses bioidentical hormones, which closely replicate the molecular structure of human hormones, to restore balance. This form of hormone replacement therapy has been practiced for decades and is known for its effectiveness in alleviating symptoms associated with hormone imbalances.

Signs of Hormone Imbalance in Men and Women

Hormone imbalance treatment begins with assessing symptoms, medical history, and possible underlying causes.



Women who are experiencing the following may have a hormone imbalance and benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy:

Fatigue

Trouble sleeping

Irritability

Anxiousness

Mood swings

Low mood

Night sweats

Hot flashes or flushes

Weight gain

Decreased sex drive

Discomfort during intercourse

For women experiencing menopause symptoms, hormone therapy may be one option to discuss after reviewing medical history and treatment risks.  Hormone therapy may also be considered for some patients experiencing disruptive perimenopause symptoms.



Men who are experiencing the following may have a hormone imbalance and benefit from bioidentical hormone replacement therapy:

Low sex drive

Increased body fat (especially in the waist area)

Loss of muscle mass and strength

How Does Bioidentical Hormone Pellet Therapy Work?

Bioidentical hormone pellet therapy involves placing small hormone-containing pellets beneath the skin. During an in-office appointment, these pellets are inserted subcutaneously in a patient’s upper buttocks. Once inserted, the pellets gradually release hormones into the bloodstream, typically beginning to alleviate unwanted symptoms within two to six weeks.


However, because everyone's body responds differently, some patients may not experience the full benefits until after their second pellet insertion. This personalized approach ensures that hormone levels are optimized for each individual's needs.

Bioidentical Hormone Therapy FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) to help you better understand the process and what to expect. Below, we address common concerns and provide detailed information about the treatment.

How long do bioidentical hormone pellets last? Bioidentical hormone pellets may release hormones for approximately three to six months, depending on the formulation and individual factors. Dr. Finley can discuss expected treatment intervals and follow-up care during your consultation.

What testing is needed before hormone pellet therapy? Before considering hormone pellet therapy, Dr. Finley reviews your symptoms, medical history, and appropriate laboratory results. Specific tests depend on your clinical circumstances and the hormones being considered.

What happens during hormone pellet insertion in Carmel, IN? During an office visit, the treatment area is numbed, and a small incision is made to place the pellet beneath the skin, typically near the upper buttocks. The site is then covered with a dressing, and aftercare instructions are provided.

What happens if I stop bioidentical hormone pellet therapy? When hormone pellets stop releasing hormones, symptoms that improved during treatment may return. The timing and severity vary, and patients should discuss treatment changes and follow-up care with their provider.

Is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy safe? Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has potential benefits and risks that depend on the hormones, formulation, dose, delivery method, and individual medical history. Compounded hormone pellets are not FDA-approved and have additional dosing and quality considerations. Dr. Finley can review appropriate options during a consultation.

Who may be a candidate for hormone therapy in Carmel, IN? Hormone therapy may be appropriate for certain patients experiencing menopausal symptoms or a medically confirmed hormone deficiency. Eligibility depends on symptoms, medical history, contraindications, and a clinician's evaluation.

How soon can I expect results from hormone pellet therapy? Response times vary depending on the condition being treated, hormone formulation, and individual response. Some patients may notice symptom changes within several weeks, but improvement is not guaranteed. Follow-up evaluation helps determine whether treatment is appropriate and effective.

Will I need follow-up appointments during hormone therapy? Yes. Hormone therapy generally requires periodic assessment of symptoms, potential side effects, and relevant clinical or laboratory findings. The monitoring schedule depends on the treatment and individual medical needs.
