BHRT can be administered in different forms, including pills, troches, creams, gels, patches, injections, and pellets. The choice of administration method depends on various factors, such as each patient’s individual needs, preferences, and the recommendations of our medical team.

Like any hormonal treatment, BHRT can have side effects. These may include hormonal acne, facial hair growth, hair loss, decrease in voice register, breast tenderness, bloating, headaches, mood changes, and irregular bleeding. However, side effects vary among individuals and can often be managed with appropriate dosage adjustments and monitoring.

The time it takes for BHRT to provide symptom relief varies from woman to woman. Some women may experience improvement in their symptoms within a few days or weeks, while others may require several months of treatment. It’s important to have realistic expectations and work closely with our team to monitor and assess the effectiveness of your therapy.

BHRT is primarily used to manage symptoms related to pre-/post-menopause and hormonal imbalances. While it may indirectly support fertility by addressing hormonal issues, it is not typically used as a primary treatment for fertility-related concerns. If fertility is a primary concern, it's best to consult with a reproductive specialist or fertility expert.

BHRT is not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, such as a history of breast or uterine cancer, liver disease, or certain cardiovascular conditions, may contraindicate the use of BHRT. Additionally, individual factors and preferences should be taken into account when determining the appropriateness of BHRT. Our medical providers can assess and guide the decision-making process based on your unique circumstances.
