In men and women alike, hormone levels decline as we age. Bio-identical hormone therapy replenishes the hormones that your body needs to function. Bio-identical hormones are molecule-by-molecule, exactly the same as the hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, DHEA, estradiol and estriol) present in the human body.
How does it work?
At Lecada, we begin with laboratory tests of hormone levels. When warranted, we then prescribe a precise dosage of bio-identical estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and/or DHEA that is prepared at a registered compounding pharmacy. Each patient is then monitored carefully through regular follow-up hormone panels to ensure they get symptom relief at the lowest possible dosage. In the initial stages, we will do a hormone panel every three months. Once balance is restored, one panel per year will be reviewed.
This preventive medical approach helps put an end to the suffering caused by stress-induced adrenal fatigue, signs of early menopause, menopause, perimenopause and andropause (the male menopause).
Results:
BHRT helps with hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss, mood swings, weight gain, low libido and hair loss in women. Men experiencing weight gain, lost libido, fatigue, stress, energy, decreased muscle mass, and increased body fat may also benefit from BHRT.
