Renew Youth only uses bioidentical hormones in Pittsburgh PA 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 specialize in creating personalized treatment plans to address your unique symptoms. One of the most powerful tools for doing this is hormone replacement therapy with bioidentical hormones in Pittsburgh PA.
What are Bioidentical Hormones?
Bioidentical hormones are indistinguishable from the natural hormones your body should be producing. Synthetic hormones, on the other hand, contain slight deviations from the chemical structure of a natural hormone and are not accepted as well by the body. This can cause dangerous side effects. 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 only use bioidentical hormones in Pittsburgh PA in all our treatments.
Using Bioidentical Hormones in Pittsburgh PA Safely and Correctly
In order for bioidentical hormones in Pittsburgh PA 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: Depending on your current hormone levels, you may require bigger or smaller doses of various bioidentical hormones in Pittsburgh PA in order to raise your hormones to healthy levels and relieve your symptoms. At Renew Youth, we test each patient before beginning treatment to ensure we prescribe the exact right dosages.
- Balancing of all relevant hormones: Menopause symptoms are typically caused by a complex interaction between multiple different hormones. 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: When estrogen is replaced, progesterone should also be replaced to ensure that estrogen binds to the correct receptors in 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.
