Hormonal FAQ
What is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT)?
How long will it take to start my Hormone Replacement Therapy program?
From initial complimentary consult to provider consultation, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks, but can be sooner if the labs process all blood diagnostics tests sooner.
Do I need to stay on BHRT forever?
As we age (male & female), our hormones decline progressively at about 1% each year. We are replacing your hormones to stay balanced, but your body continues to age and lose 1% production each year. When you stop BHRT your body will return to its normal aging process. Any change in hormones will produce symptoms. Your body may for how it felt prior to therapy, and you may experience the change in hormones.
How often do I need blood work?
2 – 4 times a year
Which is better pellet therapy or injectables?
It depends on your preferences. Both Pellets and injectables give a consistent form of delivery of medication. Pellets are dissolvable medications and are slightly more invasive. They are placed every 90 days by a small incision in the buttocks. The weekly injectable option is easier to alter the dose and are self-injectables or you may come to the office for an AIH provider to give one to you.
