Based on these results, your doctor will prescribe a personalised BHRT regimen, with specific dosages tailored to your individual needs. The formulation is then prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy in accordance with the prescribed treatment plan.

For this reason, BHRT is typically recommended as a long-term, often lifelong, therapeutic intervention, subject to regular medical review and monitoring.

Hormone levels are assessed exclusively through blood tests.

Test results are reviewed in conjunction with reported symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors to guide appropriate treatment planning.
Synthetic Hormones are chemically modified versions of naturally occurring human hormones. Due to structural differences, they may not be fully compatible with the body and have been associated with a higher incidence of adverse side effects in some individuals.
Bio-identical hormones, on the other hand, are derived from plant sources and are structurally identical to the hormones naturally produced by the human body.
When appropriately prescribed and medically supervised, Bio-Identical Hormones have been widely used in Western countries for over 50 years and, according to current evidence, have not demonstrated the same risk profile as certain synthetic hormone therapies.
