Renew Youth only uses bioidentical hormones in Los Angeles CA for menopause treatment
Although menopause is a natural part of aging, that doesn’t mean you have to just live with unpleasant menopause symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, hair loss, weight gain, and mood changes. Renew Youth can help you find relief. We offer a variety of treatment options, including hormone replacement therapy using bioidentical hormones in Los Angeles CA.
What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are indistinguishable from the natural hormones your body should be producing. Synthetic hormones, on the other hand, have somewhat different chemical structures and are not accepted as well by the body. Use of synthetic hormones has been shown to increase certain risk factors for negative outcomes. For example, the synthetic form of progesterone, progestin, has been linked to increased risk of breast cancer. Bioidentical progesterone, on the other hand, has actually been shown to decrease the risk of this cancer. At Renew Youth, we are committed to providing the very best care for our patients and that’s why we use bioidentical hormones in Los Angeles CA exclusively.
Using Bioidentical Hormones in Los Angeles CA Safely and Correctly
In order for bioidentical hormones in Los Angeles CA to be effective in relieving menopause symptoms, they must be used correctly as part of a high-quality treatment program. Here’s what to look for in such a program:
- Individualized dosages: Patients should not be prescribed bioidentical hormones in Los Angeles CA on a one size fits all basis. Instead, you should have your hormone levels tested prior to treatment and your dosages tailored to your specific needs.
- Balancing of all relevant hormones: There is no one single hormone that is causing your menopause symptoms. Instead, it is probably a combination of problems. At Renew Youth, we test for multiple different hormones that affect your health and well-being during menopause and ensure they are properly balanced.
- Pairing of estrogen & progesterone: Estrogen should never be replaced without also replacing progesterone, because these two hormones work in concert to help ensure estrogen is absorbed safely into the body.
- Ongoing lab testing & monitoring: Your treatment plan may need to be adjusted over time, depending on how you feel and how your body responds to treatment. We test your hormone levels regularly adjust your dosages as needed to make sure you continue to see good results from treatment.
